Welcome to The Alabama Maternal Health Toolkit! Alabama Arise created this resource with one primary goal: to support and empower you as you navigate the complexities of maternal health care in Alabama. Whether you’re a new mom, an expectant mother or a health care advocate, this toolkit is designed to provide you with critical information on maternal health, Medicaid coverage, health care access and community resources.

Our hope is that this guide will help you understand available health care options and provide the confidence you need to take the next steps in securing and maintaining necessary care. We are committed to improving maternal health outcomes and supporting families across our state. We’re here to help guide you through every step of the way.

We encourage you to share this toolkit with others who may benefit. Together, we can build a healthier future for all Alabama mothers and their families.
