To amend the Public Health Service Act to grow and diversify the perinatal workforce, and for other purposes

**Who it affects:** - Pregnant women and new mothers seeking care - Healthcare workers who provide perinatal care (doctors, nurses, midwives, etc.) - Medical schools and training programs - Healthcare facilities that deliver babies and provide maternal care **What would change:** The healthcare system would have more trained professionals available to care for mothers and babies, potentially improving access to care and health outcomes. The bill specifically aims to increase diversity in this workforce, which could help address disparities in maternal and infant health care. **Current status:** The bill is still being reviewed in congressional committee and has not yet been voted on.
