NPASS ADVOCACY |
NPASS Policy Recommendation: TX HB253 National Perinatal Association Student Society Supports a Plan to Address Postpartum Depression "Postpartum depression is a prevalent and serious medical condition. Although there are effective screening and treatment options available, many providers still fail to be properly screen, identify, and/or treat patients with postpartum depression. As a result, these patients and their families suffer serious medical and personal consequences. If we can increase screening and treatment for postpartum depression, we can alleviate a great burden borne by the people of Texas." |
NPASS Policy Recommendation: TX HB241 National Perinatal Association Student Society Calls for Increased Postpartum Medicaid Eligibility "The postpartum period leaves women vulnerable to a variety of health problems which can have lasting effects for both mother and infant. It is vital that women have access to healthcare during this vulnerable period." |
