Social Determinants for Moms Act

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create a task force and a grant program focused on things that affect mothers' health, like housing, transportation, and nutrition. The task force would include people from both inside and outside the government and would come up with plans to prevent mothers from dying or getting seriously ill due to avoidable causes, and to reduce unfair differences in health outcomes for mothers. The bill also requires grants to be given to community organizations, nonprofits, tribal organizations, and public health departments to help address these issues and reduce gaps in how healthy mothers are during and after pregnancy.
