Governor Glenn Youngkin recently announced the launch of an upgraded Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Dashboard and two new dashboards to monitor and provide actionable data on maternal mortality and pregnancy-associated deaths. The data is designed to be used as a resource to establish best practices to assist mothers during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. This is a part of the Administration's ongoing effort to support Virginia moms and improve maternal health outcomes.

The MCH dashboard displays metrics on preterm births, birthweight, infant mortality, prenatal care, and maternal smoking, and is sortable by year, region, health district, locality, and race/ethnicity. One new dashboard focuses on maternal mortality, using data from the Office of Vital Records. The second new dashboard displays statistics related to pregnancy-associated deaths. Both dashboards present data in five-year groupings and display statistics by selected demographic groups.

We encourage you to share these dashboards with your networks and join us in our work to improve maternal outcomes in Virginia.
