There have been some promising improvements since Murphy first launched her campaign.
New Jersey's First Lady Tammy Murphy has been hosting family festivals to raise awareness about the maternal and infant health crisis in New Jersey. .Black women and babies are more likely to die in New Jersey, often from preventable causes, and most people have no idea about the extent of the problem. Our state is among the worst in the nation for this racial gap.
So we’re glad that New Jersey’s First Lady, Tammy Murphy, is leading an effort to address this problem that’s showing real promise – and just got a $60 million shot in the arm in budget negotiations. The budget also includes funding for other initiatives in Tammy Murphy’s campaign, like $15 million to scale up a successful pilot program that sends nurses into the homes of newborns to check on the mother and baby and connect them to services; or several million dollars for efforts to expand our state’s maternal care providers beyond just OBGYNS.
Based on data the Foundation compiled from 2019 to 2022, it’s shown promising results: When compared with a similar cohort that did not get doulas, these women had a 79% reduction in preterm births and a 49% decline in low-risk C-sections, she says. The Foundation now plans to partner with a third-party researcher from Brown University to compile and report these outcomes.
Advocates say the Murphys are also planning to highlight this issue at the National Governors Association, where Phil Murphy is chairman – which plans to meet next week in Atlantic City. They are helping to develop a playbook with policy recommendations on maternal health to share with other governors. Great.
