maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. ACIM provides advice
on how best to coordinate myriad federal, state, local, and private
programs and efforts that are designed to deal with the health and
social problems impacting infant mortality and maternal health,
including implementation of the Healthy Start program and maternal and
infant health objectives from the National Health Promotion and Disease
Prevention Objectives (i.e., Healthy People 2030).
