The 2017-19 Pregnancy and Mortality Review (PAMR) Report outlines the state of maternal health outcomes in Louisiana and provides actionable recommendations for improvement. Using the report, the Bureau of Family Health has assembled this social media toolkit to help increase awareness of maternal mortality among residents, partners, policymakers, and health care providers. Together, the images and captions in this toolkit create unified messages about maternal mortality to best help you amplify the findings from the latest report.
Get involved with prevention efforts and read the full PAMR report here: PartnersForFamilyHealth.org/MaternalMortality.
