Behavioral health conditions – largely suicide and accidental overdose – are a leading cause of death for pregnant and postpartum people in Washington, accounting for nearly half of pregnancy-related deaths in the latest Maternal Mortality Review Panel Report.  

During the same report window, 82% of pregnancy-related deaths were found to be preventable, highlighting the powerful opportunity for hospitals to intervene and save lives. (Brittany Weiner)
