Last year, I signed legislation that permanently expanded North Carolina’s postpartum Medicaid coverage from 60 days to one full year. I am proud we are working on increasing access to care for mothers as we recognize Black Maternal Health Week – because we cannot accept maternal disparities as a fact of life. I look forward to working with Sen. Murdock and the Legislative Black Caucus to make sure that all mothers and their children have access to the health care they need as we continue to build a safer, stronger, and healthier North Carolina.
