Wow, what a momentous day for #HealthEquity in the Massachusetts State House! Compact members Thea James, MD, MPH, MBA Jeffrey Sánchez, MPA Elsie Taveras, MD, MPH Allison Bryant Mantha and staff Lindsey Tucker Sonna Obiorah were present to witness Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey sign the maternal health bill into law. This comprehensive bill will expand access to doulas, birth centers, and midwifery—critical steps towards ensuring that all families receive the care and support they need regardless of race, zip code, or socioeconomic status. We are thrilled to see the Commonwealth once again leading the way in advancing health equity! A huge thank you to Liz Miranda Cindy FRIEDMAN Marjorie Decker Julian Cyr @Bud Williams Brandy Fluker Oakley, Esq. Kay Khan and all the legislators who championed this transformational legislation. We stand with the inspirational advocates who worked for years to make this a reality. Together, we’re building a healthier and more equitable Commonwealth! #MAPoli
