Background
Maternal mortality and morbidity are key indicators of the health status and care received by individuals before, during, and after a pregnancy. In addition to there being room for improvement in maternal health outcomes overall in Wisconsin, there are stark maternal mortality and morbidity inequities that need to be addressed. Although the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and its partners have started to address these inequities, the State Maternal Health Innovation (MHI) Program provides an opportunity to convene diverse partners to move maternal health forward in the state.
