In today’s What is Public Health Podcast episode, during National Public Health Week April 7-13, 2025, on Day 5, we explore how maternal health has shaped public health — and why it’s still a critical issue today.
We look at the history of maternal health programs, major breakthroughs in care and policy, and what’s at risk if we don’t protect funding for prenatal, postpartum, and mental health support.
Recent layoffs and budget threats to key maternal health programs remind us: progress isn’t permanent.
It’s something we have to fight for.
