Black Maternal Heath Week; April 11-17, 2026; recognize

This bill designates April 11-17, 2026, as Black Maternal Health Week to raise awareness about maternal health disparities affecting Black women and birthing persons. The resolution highlights statistics on higher pregnancy-related mortality rates among Black women and calls attention to systemic barriers like maternity care deserts and unequal access to reproductive health services. It does not create new laws or funding but serves as a symbolic recognition to focus public attention on these health inequities. The measure was adopted by the House of Representatives to encourage discussion and potential future policy action on maternal health issues.
