MOMS for the 21st Century Act

The MOMS for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 5807) aims to improve maternal health outcomes in the United States by expanding the maternity care workforce and promoting evidence-based medical practices. The bill would establish a loan repayment program to recruit providers to areas with severe shortages of maternity care professionals and create a national consumer education campaign to help expectant mothers understand their care options. Additionally, it seeks to standardize maternity care training across different medical disciplines and increase federal research into the most effective ways to ensure healthy pregnancies and births.
