SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACIMM is authorized by section 222 of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 217a), as amended. The
Committee is governed by provisions of Public Law 92-463, as amended,
(5 U.S.C. App. 2), which sets forth standards for the formation and use
of Advisory Committees.
The ACIMM advises the Secretary of HHS on department activities,
partnerships, policies, and programs directed at reducing infant
mortality, maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity, and
improving the health status of infants and women before, during, and
after pregnancy. The Committee provides advice on how to coordinate
federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governmental efforts
designed to improve these outcomes, as well as influence similar
efforts in the private and voluntary sectors. With its focus on
underlying causes of the disparities and inequities seen in birth
outcomes for women and infants, the Committee also advises the
Secretary of HHS on the health, social, economic, and environmental
factors contributing to the inequities and proposes structural, policy,
and/or systems level changes.
The agenda for the September 13-15, 2022, meeting is being
finalized and may include the following topics: infant and maternal
mortality among American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women and
infants; indigenous health; and federal program updates. In addition to
these topics, it is expected that there will be a discussion of
recommendations by the ACIMM to the Secretary of HHS on improving birth
outcomes among AI/AN mothers and infants, and then a vote on whether to
send the recommendations forward to the Secretary of HHS. Agenda items
are subject to change as priorities dictate.
Members of the public will have the opportunity to provide written
or oral comments. Requests to submit a written statement or make oral
comments to the ACIMM should be sent to Vanessa Lee, using the email
address above, at least 3 business days prior to the meeting. Public
participants may submit written statements in advance of the scheduled
meeting by emailing <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1c4f5d5f55515c746e6f7d327b736a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="93c0d2d0daded3fbe1e0f2bdf4fce5">[email protected]</span></a>. Oral comments will be honored in
the order they are requested and may be limited as time allows.
