More home-visiting support services are needed to help address maternal #healthcare inequities in #Michigan, experts say.

The value of #breastfeeding as a public health investment is clear and backed by research. Breastfeeding prevents malnutrition, infectious diseases and mortality in infants, and reduces the risk of obesity and chronic diseases later in life. #NationalPublicHealthWeek

Download the Irth app and leave a review of the care you experienced at Ascension St. John. What you share will help us push for staff at this hospital to make improvements where needed.👏🏾✊🏾✨

Truth! Grateful that Mich. is among them esp. the part where implementation will be guided *by doulas*💪🏾 where “a collaboration between policy experts & external stakeholders led the state’s Medicaid program to introduce reimbursement for doula services starting in 2023.”

This new report from @HHSGov confirms what we already know: Doulas save lives. And for Black and Native women, doulas serve as critical resources in improving maternal health outcomes. news.bloomberglaw.com/pharma…
