Subject: | Maternal Health Awareness Day |
Please join me in co-sponsoring a Resolution designating January 23, 2020, as Maternal Health Awareness Day in Pennsylvania. More than half of the nearly 700 deaths from pregnancy-related complications each year in the United States are preventable. The Pennsylvania College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists is striving to improve public and professional awareness of the issues related to maternal health and mortality while also promoting promising initiatives that are being undertaken to reduce maternal mortality. This Resolution helps achieve these goals while also working in tandem with the Maternal Mortality Review Committee, created by Act 24 of 2018. Thank you for your consideration. I hope you are able to join in this effort. |
