Maternal health is an indicator of a nation’s health. Given how much faith leaders value our mothers and
children, it is vital that everyone help combat this crisis.

The White House Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis available at bit.ly/maternalblueprint,
has identified five priorities to address our maternal health crisis. They are:
1. Increase Access to and Coverage of Comprehensive High-Quality Maternal Health Services,
Including Behavioral Health Services.
2. Ensure Those Giving Birth are Heard and are Decisionmakers in Accountable Systems of Care.
3. Advance Data Collection, Standardization, Harmonization, Transparency, and Research.
4. Expand and Diversify the Perinatal Workforce.
5. Strengthen Economic and Social Supports for People Before, During, and After Pregnancy.
