A resolution designating January 23, 2023, as "Maternal Health Awareness Day".

This resolution designates January 23, 2023, as "Maternal Health Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. It does not create new programs or funding but encourages federal, state, tribal, and community efforts to address these issues. The resolution highlights statistics such as approximately 700 annual pregnancy-related deaths and higher mortality rates among Black, American Indian, and Alaska Native individuals. It supports existing initiatives promoting equitable care and reducing preventable maternal deaths, without imposing any new legal requirements.
