Campaign Pledges $100M to Halve U.S. Maternal Deaths

A Walton-backed bipartisan initiative, Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies America, pledges $100 million over five years to cut the U.S. maternal mortality rate in half by 2031, prioritizing rural access, midwife training, postpartum care, and improved data collection with state matching to scale impact. The campaign also supports bipartisan legislation and aims to surface political will for maternal health reform by coordinating with states and health systems to implement proven improvements.
