I was happy to speak before the #PaSenate Health & Human Services Committee about my bill to require Medicare coverage for doula services, which was then approved unanimously! This is a big part of the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus #MOMNIBUS & my longtime efforts to reduce maternal mortality in PA

HB2127, part of the #PAMomnibus package, passed through Senate committee unanimously! It creates a public awareness campaign around postpartum depression to connect new mothers with treatment options. So proud to work with cosponsors and fellow moms Rep. Lisa Borowski & Rep. Gina H. Curry!


It’s been ONE incredible year! Join Rep. Morgan Cephas, Rep. Gina H. Curry & Rep. La’Tasha D. Mayes for “Birth to Power: Celebrating ONE Year of Impact!” on October 17, 12-1P ET, to amplify the success of the @PBMHC & #PAMOMNIBUS.
