The Utah Department of Health (awardee) partnered with the Wyoming Department of Health (sub-awardee) to submit a successful cross-state application for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Enhancing Reviews and Surveillance to Eliminate Maternal Mortality (ERASE MM) funding in 2019. The funding established a cross-state maternal mortality review committee in 2020. Wyoming representatives attend quarterly committee meetings to review maternal deaths from Utah and Wyoming. The committee reviews all pregnancy associated deaths.
