On May 13, 2024, Representatives Kelly (IL-02), Kim (CA-40), Meuser (PA-09), and Schrier (WA-08) introduced the bipartisan Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act. This legislation aims to bolster rural health care facilities that provide crucial obstetric care.
The Rural Obstetrics Readiness Act is designed to support rural hospitals and doctors in preparing for obstetric emergencies. The legislation proposes the introduction of targeted federal grants that will equip these rural health care facilities with advanced technologies and training capabilities.
"Expecting mothers in rural Pennsylvania deserve nothing less than exceptional obstetric health care," said Congressman Dan Meuser. "This legislation aims to tackle the maternal health crisis facing our country. The introduction of targeted federal grants will equip rural health care facilities with the capacity to handle obstetric emergencies with advanced technologies and trainings. I’m pleased to co-lead this crucial bill, as it will deliver essential resources directly to rural health facilities, offering much-needed support to mothers and children."
