H.R. 958 would direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide coordinators to support veterans through every stage of their pregnancies. The bill also would require VA to deliver training on the unique needs of pregnant and postpartum veterans to maternity-care professionals in medical facilities that are not operated by the department.
Currently, VA provides coordinators through its Maternity Care Coordination Program, and it also trains maternity-care workers in nondepartmental facilities through the Women’s Health Education team.
