According to the March of Dimes Maternal Health Report Card for Louisiana, our state ranks 51st of 52 in preterm births and 46th in infant mortality with around 7 infant deaths per 1,000 births. Our numbers have gotten worse year over year.
That is why LPCA remains committed to improving maternal health outcomes in Louisiana through educating communities and legislators on the critical need for expanded maternal and infant health services through Community Health Centers.
We are and encourage our member health centers and community partners to recommit to improving maternal mortality and maternal wellness throughout the state!
