You can’t fix what you refuse to study!!!

Thank you to the village for showing up for this mission. In 2019, the National Institutes of Health launched the IMPROVE Initiative to reduce the preventable causes of maternal death and improve care before, during, and after pregnancy. The program has no sustained funding source. This bipartisan bill changes that. Here is what the NIH IMPROVE Act does. -It provides six years of consistent funding, so the research can finish what it started. -It supports research into the causes of maternal death and severe complications, looking at biological, behavioral, sociocultural, and structural factors. -It targets the disparities behind maternal deaths and builds the evidence for better care in underserved maternal care deserts. The system is the problem, and research shows us where to fix it. The NIH IMPROVE Act is one of 14 bills in the Momnibus Act, H.R. 7973. Pass the Momnibus, and you pass all 14. The NIH IMPROVE Act passed the House unanimously and now needs action in the Senate!!!! Here is how you show up. Call your senators and ask them to support and pass the NIH IMPROVE Act.
