Why Was RMOMS Created?

Rural mothers have more trouble getting care:

  • More than half of all rural U.S. counties lack hospital obstetric services.
  • Closures are more common in small hospitals and communities with a limited obstetric workforce.
  • Maternal mortality and morbidity are rising.
  • Large racial and ethnic disparities in pregnancy-related mortality continue. African American and American Indian/Alaskan Native patients have a higher risk than white patients.
