Health Equity

Policy advocacy wins

Our partners successfully advocated for Medicaid postpartum extension in 2023, which extended Medicaid coverage from 60 days to one year after birth. They won presumptiveDIGITAL Medicaid eligibility for pregnant women in 2024, which allows women to access immediate care while their application for Medicaid is being considered. Both measures represent critical policy changes that can improve infant and maternal mortality rates.
