Medicare physician payments face another cut on January 1, 2025. Adequate payment helps keep ob-gyn practices open; without it, practices become unsustainable. Communities must have access to care. Congress must act. acog.quorum.us/campaign/88732/ #FixMedicareNow #ObGynsInAction

Yesterday, ACOG members proudly presented Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock with the 2024 ACOG Public Service Award in honor of his work on maternal mortality and his introduction of the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act.

It was a cold day but worth it!! Tell Congress to act now!! Stop Medicare payment cuts, reauthorize the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act and THCGME funding!! ACOG Action ACOG

As an ob-gyn, you know firsthand that no one should have to experience the tragedy of stillbirth. Urge your members of Congress to support the #SHINEforAutumnAct today to help fill gaps in stillbirth data, research, and education: acog.quorum.us/campaign/63551/

Maternal mortality review committees harness data—one of the most powerful tools we have to save maternal lives—to inform evidence-based solutions. Their work must not be compromised by bias or conflicts of interest. Read our statement: bit.ly/4fOBXxU

As stories continue to emerge about the pain pregnant people suffer in states with abortion bans, opponents of abortion claim that it’s doctors’ fault that some patients cannot access care they need. Our new video makes it clear: bans are to blame.

It’s time for Congress to pass a permanent solution to the broken Medicare payment system so that ob-gyns can build sustainable practices, ensuring that they can provide care to patients today and in the future. Make your voice heard: acog.quorum.us/campaign/10598…

We will continue to do all that we can to defend doctors’ ability to provide patients with the care they need, patients’ rights to determine their futures, and communities’ capacity to thrive. Today and every day, abortion is health care. #RoeDay #RoevWade

This Roe Day, we reflect on the courageous abortion care professionals and clinic workers who were targeted and killed for providing abortion care. We lift up their names in memoriam and to remind us all of what is at stake when abortion is stigmatized. bit.ly/3CmoHTB

TY Bipartisan Pro-Choice Legislative Caucus for hosting today’s legislative breakfast. In advance of #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay, tomorrow, 1/23, we call on NYS lawmakers to partner w/ the ob-gyn community to invest in efforts to protect access to abortion care & combat the continued maternal mortality crisis.

Today is #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay! It’s crucial that we come together for our patients and our communities. Follow along as we lift up the voices of those who best know what’s at stake when it comes to maternal and reproductive health in the United States.

The maternal mortality rate in the U.S. is unacceptably high, especially among Black, Brown, and Native American women. On #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay, I will continue fighting for reproductive freedoms and to expand maternal healthcare initiatives in our communities.
