#StandingWithPush
because every birthing family deserves a trusted support system
Pregnancy should be a joyous experience, but this is a false reality for many women around the world, including the United States. It is estimated that 700 to 900 new and expectant mothers die in the U.S. each year from pregnancy complications while an additional 60,000 women experience life-threatening postpartum complications. Pregnancy-related deaths can occur during pregnancy, at delivery, or up to a year after pregnancy (postpartum phase). It is estimated that over 80% of these deaths are preventable.
PUSH is dedicated to improving maternal health experiences and outcomes by partnering with women, moms, and families, before, during, and after pregnancy. The work we do and the support we render as community health navigators, public health professionals, maternal care providers, advocates, and community partners, would not be possible without the generous support from individuals, organizations, and community leaders. The maternal mortality and morbidity public health crisis has been a growing concern over the past several years. The short- and long-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this issue. Now more than ever, women and birthing families are in need of quality care and partnership, in conjunction with action and a trusted support system.
We are grateful for your support of PUSH and the women, families, and communities that, through a partnership with PUSH, have a better chance of improved health, successful delivery, and postpartum recovery. Any support you can give is greatly appreciated.
