Dear Health Advocates,
We hope you had a fantastic weekend! After a busy week of advocacy, we're excited to share a few new resources from Families USA as well as our partners!
Here is a new Insights Blog on What's Next in Maternal Health? Transforming Medicaid to Combat the Maternal Health Crisis [[link removed]].
We also want to lift up two fact sheets from CMS on new final rules that dropped last week! The first is on the 1557 Final Rule
