On March 31, the Governor Shapiro Administration unveiled Pennsylvania’s Maternal Health Strategic Action Plan, entitled Healthy Moms, Vibrant Futures. The comprehensive multi-agency plan is the first in Pennsylvania and contains strategic goals, data and research, ongoing work, and recommendations to combat maternal health disparities that can shape quality of life for both mothers and their children.
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) launched the Plan along with members of the Governor’s Commission on Women and leaders from the Pennsylvania General Assembly, as well as maternal health advocates.
