"What About Moms?"

Maternal mortality is a profound societal tragedy. Join us in raising awareness about this critical issue and advocating for change. By understanding the reasons behind the crisis, we empower ourselves to contribute to the solution.

About Us

Families USA, a leading national, non-partisan voice for health care consumers, is dedicated to achieving high-quality, affordable health care and improved health for all. Our work is driven by and centered around four pillars: value, equity, coverage and people’s experience. We view these focus areas — and the various issues unique to each area — as the cornerstones of America’s health care system.

"Maternal mortality is highest among Black and Indigenous people, who face about a three times greater risk of a pregnancy-related death than white women."

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Our Mission

Families USA is committed to raising awareness, fostering dialogue, and advocating for policy changes that address the root causes of the maternal health crisis. By promoting education, engaging with policymakers, and empowering communities, we aim to reverse the disturbing trends in maternal health outcomes.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that more than 80% of maternal deaths are preventable."

Take Action!

Together, we can address the root causes of maternal mortality and work towards a future where every woman experiences safe and equitable maternal care.

 

Explore, learn, and let's make a difference in the fight against maternal mortality. Your involvement matters, and together, we can create a world where every pregnancy ends with joy, not sorrow.
