This RFP focuses on improving maternal health in reference to cardiovascular conditions.

During the 2017-2019 MMRC review, it was noted that of the 40 pregnancy‐related deaths, cardiovascular conditions (excluding cardiomyopathy, HDP, and CVA) were the most common underlying cause, accounting for 9 deaths (22.5%) and a mortality ratio of 8.1 deaths per 100,000 births. In addition, cardiomyopathy accounted for 8 deaths (20.0%) and embolisms accounted for 5 deaths (12.5%).

The Mississippi State Department of Health’s (MSDH) mission is to protect and advance the health, wellbeing, and safety of everyone in Mississippi. The MSDH comprises several divisions and programs that are specifically aimed at decreasing maternal morbidities and mortality in the state. The agency continuously partners with other local, state, and federal partners/organizations to accomplish this goal and is supportive of related efforts to decrease adverse outcomes that impact mothers and babies across the state.

The purpose of this RFP is to support organizations and public health entities in their efforts to reduce maternal morbidity/mortality related to cardiovascular conditions.

  • Hosting anti-racism and implicit bias training in healthcare or public health settings with emphasis on improvements in heart health for expecting and/or post-partum women.
  • Addressing social determinants of health that may serve as barriers to healthcare access or other supports for women before, during, and after pregnancy.
