Mayes: PA Needs Maternal Health Awareness Day

Co-chair of the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus La'Tasha D. Mayes explains Rep. Gina H. Curry’s resolution officially designating January 23, 2026 as Maternal Health Awareness Day in Pennsylvania, highlighting the urgent need for action to address the crisis in maternal health. With a high pregnancy-associated mortality rate of 97 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2021, this recognition emphasizes the necessity for increased attention, resources, and commitment to preventable complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
