The Maternal Mortality Review Panel (MMRP) was established by Act 35 (2011) to conduct comprehensive, multidisciplinary reviews of maternal deaths for the purpose of identifying factors associated with these deaths and creating recommendations for system changes for improving the health care and social services for Vermonters. Act 142 (2020) amended the MMRP’s charge to include in their review, considerations of health disparities and social determinants of health, including race and ethnicity in maternal death reviews.
