Show Notes
Nevadas perinatal care crisis escalates with rising maternal mortality, preterm births, and declining postpartum checkups. Women opt for home births with midwives due to poor doctor experiences. Nationwide, more women receive late or no prenatal care, disproportionately affecting Black mothers. Nevada faces additional challenges with half its births on Medicaid and numerous maternity care deserts. Experts attribute these issues to Nevadas delayed response in forming a maternal mortality review committee. Recent initiatives, such as Medicaid expansions and new residencies, offer hope for improved maternal and infant care.
