S 4149

The Social Determinants for Moms Act aims to reduce preventable maternal mortality and health disparities in the United States. It establishes a Task Force within the Department of Health and Human Services to develop strategies and coordinate efforts across various federal agencies and stakeholders. The Task Force will consider a wide range of factors impacting maternal health, including housing, food security, environmental conditions, and violence, and is tasked with providing recommendations for federal funding and action. Furthermore, the bill authorizes grant funding for community-based organizations to address social determinants of maternal health in areas with high rates of maternal mortality and poverty.
