HRSA launches maternal health initiative

The Health Resources and Services Administration last week launched the Enhancing Maternal Health Initiative. The one-year effort brings together HRSA maternal health grantees from 11 states and Washington, D.C. to address maternal mortality and maternal health disparities in partnership with mothers, grantees, community organizations and state and local health officials. The initiative aims to achieve measurable progress in maximizing the impact of HRSA grants and programs to improve maternal health; foster new partnerships in high-need, high-opportunity areas; and strengthen HRSA’s capacity to maximize the impact of its maternal health grants.
