Revolution Health has a new interactive tool,
momScore, that ranks states based on the accessibility and quality of maternal health care. To determine the score, a team of health experts compared state-to-state criteria including:
- Access to prenatal care
- Maternal mortality
- Risk of pregnancy complications
- Childcare availability per capita
- Infant mortality
- Air quality
- Violent crime rate
- Access to health insurance
- Affordability of children's health insurance
- Mandatory paid leave policy
You can check your state's score overall or by specific health topic. My state ranked roughly in the middle, which was what I expected to see. Where does your state rank?
