Show Notes
Massachusetts maternal health is facing challenges despite its top-tier medical scene. Birthing centers have closed, C-section rates are high, and racial disparities persist. Hospital differences impact outcomes, with financial incentives and staffing shortages playing a role. Governor Maura Healeys Maternal Health Law aims to address these issues, focusing on doula coverage, home visits, and birth worker licenses. Postpartum dangers, including mental health and substance use, also pose significant risks.
