Bill overview
The Maternal Care Access and Reducing Emergencies Act (Maternal CARE Act) aims to improve maternal health outcomes, particularly for Black women, by providing grants for implicit bias training in healthcare and supporting state-led pregnancy medical home programs. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services to fund training for healthcare professionals and establish demonstration projects in states to reduce maternal mortality and racial disparities. The bill also calls for a study by the National Academy of Medicine on incorporating bias recognition into medical school training.
