"EVENING READ: On average, Illinois loses 73 women to pregnancy-related deaths each year -- a tragedy disproportionally affecting women of color. Pleased to see IL enact new legislation to help prevent maternal deaths & reduce racial disparities in outcomes."
"No nation as advanced as the US should have new moms & infants dying at this rate. Many of these deaths are often preventable with the right intervention & health care. With a new $450,000 grant from @CDCgov, the @IDPH can continue to invest in maternal & postpartum health care."
