Did you know? 

• The United States faces a maternal health crisis: more women die in childbirth here than in any other developed nation, with the maternal mortality ratio having more than doubled in recent years. 

• Over 80% of these deaths are preventable, and in states like Texas, that number climbs to 90%. 

• Racial disparities persist, with women of color experiencing significantly higher rates of morbidity and mortality—regardless of their socio-economic status. 

• Chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity continue to rise among expectant mothers, compounding risks and underscoring the urgent need for coordinated, holistic care. 

• Women without health insurance are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than those with coverage, highlighting the importance of accessible, comprehensive support.

• Women in rural communities often face additional barriers to maternal care, such as limited access to hospitals and providers, resulting in higher risks for complications and poorer outcomes.

At The Perinatal Unit for Systems of Health® (P.U.S.H.), formerly PUSH Birth Partners®, we are changing this narrative. In 2025, commemorating our fifth anniversary, we initiated a strategic plan focused on transformation and renewal. Our mission is to drive lasting, generational change by supporting women and families through pregnancy and beyond, utilizing integrative person-centered care models and forging authentic community partnerships.  

We envision a world where every woman, child, and family flourishes through safe, supported, and transformative birth experiences. Join us as we push forward—together—toward a future where dignity, respect, and comprehensive care are the standard for every birth.
