WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-NH) has cosponsored bipartisan legislation, led by Sens. Tina Smith (D-MN) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), aimed at helping to ensure that new and expecting moms living in rural communities get the care that they need. The legislation would take significant steps forward to improve health care outcomes for moms and their babies, including by expanding prenatal and postpartum tele-health services and creating new federal grants to address maternal mortality.
“No matter where they live, expectant moms deserve access to high-quality care to protect their health and the health of their babies,” said Hassan. “With rural communities across New Hampshire experiencing physician shortages and other challenges, this much-needed bipartisan legislation will help us take a big step forward in supporting moms and their families.”
