Illinois maternal mortality report finds rise in pregnancy-related deaths | Ford County Chronicle CHICAGO — Preventable pregnancy-related deaths rose and stark racial disparities remained in the Illinois Department of Public Health’s most recent maternal mortality report. The report studied 219…

A new report from IDPH shows a troubling rise in pregnancy-related deaths between 2021–2022 with 91% deemed preventable.

These findings underscore why policies like the #BirthEquity Act are so critical & why continued investment & accountability matter.

Black mothers are being turned away in labor. The WELLS Act makes hospitals justify discharges, assess risks, and train staff on bias for safer maternal care.

Illinois Medicaid is now covering home visiting services for pregnant & parenting individuals. The new benefit brings health education, screenings, referrals, & support directly to families, advancing #BirthEquity and improving maternal and child health statewide. www.illinois.gov/news/release...

This story reflects a bigger issue: Black women not being listened to during labor.
A few reminders for every family:

• Don’t labor alone
• Know your hospital and your doctor’s privileges
• Advocate early
• Partners, stay engaged
• Know the signs of active labor

This isn’t a pilot program. It’s permanent, built by doulas rooted in Black feminist reproductive justice. An advisory council will guide it, & a fund will grow the workforce—recognizing doulas as essential to community health. #BirthEquity #ReproductiveJustice

Our Women’s & Children’s team hosted a Respectful Care Event, welcoming back patients to share their birthing experiences and reconnect with their care team. We’re proud to continue advancing birth equity and providing respectful care.
