Readout of White House Roundtable on Innovation in Maternal Health

During the conversation, convened by the Office of the Vice President, Biden-Harris Administration officials emphasized the importance of investing in women’s health and addressing the maternal mortality crisis that disproportionately impacts women of color and women who live in rural areas. The roundtable participants highlighted the contributions of the private sector, including increasing access to doula and midwifery services as well as culturally competent care. Participants also discussed the importance of public-private partnerships in advancing equity and improving access to high-quality health care and social supports, and preventing maternal morbidity and mortality.
