CMS Maternal Health Summer 2024 Webinar Series: Addressing hypertension before, during and after pregnancy

Join us for the launch of an exciting new learning collaborative by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), focusing on two critical Maternal and Infant Health Initiative priority areas: “Improving Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Care and Outcomes” and “Improving Maternal Hypertension Control”. Maternal mental illness and substance use during pregnancy are significant concerns, while uncontrolled high blood pressure poses risks for both birthing people and fetuses. As the largest public payer of births nationwide, Medicaid and CHIP programs play a vital role in enhancing care systems to address these challenges and improve maternal health outcomes. CMS invites staff from state Medicaid and CHIP agencies, hospital and obstetrical providers, Medicaid and CHIP managed care plans, public health agencies, and other quality improvement partners to join the Maternal Health Summer 2024 Webinar Series. Gain insights from state agencies, federal partners, and subject matter experts on approaches to improve maternal health outcomes.
