AI Summary
This resolution proclaims January 23, 2025, as Maternal Health Awareness Day, highlighting California's efforts to address maternal mortality and improve maternal health outcomes. The resolution acknowledges that the United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among industrialized nations, with over 700 women dying annually from pregnancy or delivery complications, more than half of which are preventable. It specifically recognizes the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC), a Stanford University-affiliated organization that has helped reduce maternal mortality in California by 55% between 2006 and 2013, lowering the rate to seven deaths per 100,000 live births. The resolution emphasizes the need to address racial disparities in maternal health, particularly noting that Black women represent only 5% of pregnancies in California but account for 21% of pregnancy-related deaths. The document calls for continued efforts to improve maternal health through strategies such as enhanced mental health screening, postpartum care, preventive health measures, and targeted support for vulnerable populations. By designating this awareness day, the Legislature aims to draw attention to ongoing maternal health challenges and promote positive outcomes for mothers and infants.
