Massachusetts Launches Grant Program to Increase Access to Maternal and Reproductive Health Services

The Healey-Driscoll administration announced a plan to award $10 million in grant funding over three years to strengthen maternal health and family planning services in Massachusetts. The program, administered by the Department of Public Health (DPH), will invest in access, workforce and infrastructure for organizations that provide women’s health services, including prenatal care, postpartum depression care, post-miscarriage mental healthcare, midwifery services and reproductive healthcare. DPH will prioritize applicants based in communities with the most significant inequities.
