In 2017 the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) established a committee with the aim of eliminating preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity and thereby contributing to the broader goal of reproductive justice and racial equity in maternal health outcomes in NYC. The NYC DOHMH Maternal Mortality and Morbidity Review Committee (M3RC) consists of over 40 members and meets nearly monthly to conduct a multidisciplinary expert review of each maternal death in NYC from both a clinical and social determinants of health perspective. The members are from variety fields, such as OBGYNs, midwives, doulas, mental health providers, community members, first responders, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and pathologists.
