Project
A two-year grant (2024 and 2025) that supports ‘Improving Maternal Mental Health by Embedding Community Health Workers in Obstetric Settings,’ a pilot project to study the potential benefits and challenges of integrating community health workers in obstetric clinics with a high percentage of Medi-Cal patients.
A second grant (2025) supports the Maternity and Postpartum Care Payment Reform Expert Workgroup, which will convene 8-12 leading maternity care financing experts to publish and disseminate a report on the maternity care reimbursement reform. The report will provide insight into alternative payment strategies to improve maternal health outcomes.
