Penn Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Addresses Disparities in Maternal Mortality

Rising rates of maternal mortality and associated disparities in the city of Philadelphia and across the U.S. reflect a national crisis. As a national leader in obstetrical care, Penn Medicine's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is highly engaged in city-wide efforts to address this crisis and is taking a multi-step approach to address maternal mortality.

Topic: First Trimester

At Penn Medicine, we strive to create a labor and delivery environment that validates the experience of every patient who chooses to deliver with us.  Philadelphia, like many cities across the US, is challenged with disparities in the care of patients of color.

Our department is responding to the 2020 Improving Outcomes: Maternal Mortality in Philadelphia report.  Click on link below to read our statement detailing the comprehensive approach we are taking to improve maternal health outcomes for women across Penn Medicine:
