RALEIGH, N.C. — A state senator hopes that the third time is the charm for a bill aimed at improving maternal care for North Carolina mothers.
Sen. Natalie Murdock, NC-Chatham, along with her Democratic colleagues in the NC House, filed Senate Bill 571/House Bill 725, known as the MOMnibus Act.
The bill, if passed, would establish grants for community-based organizations, provide implicit bias training for maternal care professionals, fund lactation consultant training programs at historically Black colleges, establish a perinatal education grant program and create the “Mom-nibus” initiative, which seeks to bring care to mothers and babies in areas without access care access.
