Summary
The Perinatal Workforce Act amends the Public Health Service Act to grow and diversify the perinatal healthcare workforce. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue guidance to states on recruiting and retaining diverse maternity care providers, including midwives, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other specialists, with emphasis on providers from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds and those trained in implicit bias and culturally competent care. The bill establishes federal grant programs to support accredited schools and programs training perinatal health workers, midwives, and maternal health-focused nurses, with priority given to programs serving underrepresented populations and health professional shortage areas.
