On December 15, HRSA Deputy Administrator Jordan Grossman and Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) Associate Administrator Dr. Michael Warren joined a White House roundtable led by Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden and Domestic Policy Advisor to the Vice President Kristine Lucius to discuss the Agency's efforts to improve maternal and infant health. In addition to announcing the release of a funding opportunity for the State Maternal Health Innovation program, which supports state maternal health task forces, HRSA highlighted several of its foundational maternal health programs, including the Health Center Program; Healthy Start; the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant; the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program; and the Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program.
The discussion is one of the many actions taken to advance the Biden-Harris Administration's White House Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis (PDF - 912 KB).
