Did you know? More women die in childbirth in the U.S. compared to other developed countries. In recent years, the maternal mortality ratio has more than doubled. Over 80% of these deaths are preventable. That number increases to 90% in states like Texas. Racial disparity is a continued concern with higher morbidity and mortality rates among women of color, despite socio-economic status. A growing number of women present with chronic conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes and obesity, which contribute to pregnancy-related complications. These women could benefit from the closer coordination of antenatal and primary care – including case management and other community-based services that help them access care and overcome cost and other obstacles. In the USA, women who lack health insurance are three to four times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than their insured counterparts. Established in 2020, PUSH is a 501(c)(3) organization made up of passionate public health professionals, advocates, community health workers (CHWs), and community leaders, dedicated to improving maternal health experiences and outcomes, before, during, and after pregnancy. We are moms. We are dads. We are human. Our goal is to minimize many of the preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality through a trusted partnership, care navigation, and management services, for all women and families. Due to the disproportionate rates of adverse outcomes in certain populations, we seek to deliver services to women of color, individuals from socially/economically marginalized groups, those with pregnancies identified as high-risk, and the medically uninsured.
