SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. chapter 10), as amended.
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 infant mortality, related adverse birth outcomes,
and maternal health, as well as influence similar efforts in the
private and voluntary sectors. The Committee provides guidance and
recommendations on the policies, programs, and resources required to
address the disparities and inequities in infant mortality, related
adverse birth outcomes and maternal health outcomes, including maternal
mortality and severe maternal morbidity. With its focus on underlying
causes of the disparities and inequities seen in birth outcomes for
women and infants, the Committee 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 October 16-17, 2024, meeting is being finalized
and may include the following topics: federal updates; presentations
and Committee discussions on the workgroup topics of rural health care
access, social drivers of health, and women's health before/between
pregnancies; and discussion of possible recommendations to achieve
optimal maternal health and overall birth outcomes for underserved
populations, including Black/African American families. Agenda items
are subject to change as priorities dictate. Refer to the ACIMM website
listed above for any updated information concerning the meeting.
