We’re excited to introduce ACOG’s Critical Access and Rural Health Learning Collaborative! This new virtual webinar series will focus on sharing practical strategies to improve ob-gyn care access in critical-access and low-resource rural settings.

Join us for our first webinar in this series, Building Obstetric Readiness in the Emergency Department: Practical Models for Rural and IHS Settings, on Thursday, February 19, at 2 p.m. ET. You’ll review the Obstetric Emergency Readiness manual; discuss models of care in Indian Health Service and rural settings where resources are limited; and hear from experts about managing teams and patient care in resource-limited environments, recognizing success in context, and what elements of care can transfer to other communities.

Today we recognize Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day, a time to highlight the importance of mental and emotional well-being during pregnancy and throughout the first year after birth. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, and other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders affect many mothers and families, yet they often go unrecognized or untreated. Raising awareness helps reduce stigma, encourages open conversations, and promotes early screening, support, and access to care. Maternal mental health is a critical component of overall maternal and infant health, and supporting mothers supports healthy families and communities.
