Social Determinants for Moms Act

This bill, known as the Social Determinants for Moms Act, requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a task force aimed at reducing preventable maternal deaths and health disparities in the United States. The task force would include federal agency leaders, community organization representatives, and maternity care providers to develop coordinated strategies addressing both medical and non-medical factors like housing, nutrition, and access to care. Additionally, the bill authorizes $100 million over five years to provide grants to community organizations working in areas with high maternal mortality rates and poverty, focusing on social determinants such as transportation, employment, and environmental conditions. The task force must submit reports to Congress every two years outlining its progress and recommendations for future funding and actions.
