What We Do

Protecting Reproductive Health is a grassroots group of patients, parents, healthcare providers, and community advocates committed to making Tennessee a safer place for expecting mothers. We don't have a political agenda — we have a healthcare agenda. Our work is driven by evidence, guided by medical expertise, and grounded in the real experiences of Tennessee families.

Why We Need to Act

Tennessee mothers are dying at rates that demand our attention — and our action.
Currently, Tennessee has the highest maternal mortality rate in the United States. Behind every statistic is a mother, a family, and a loss that was, in many cases, preventable. We believe that every person deserves to survive and thrive through pregnancy and childbirth, regardless of their zip code, income, or background.

Empowering Through Education

We are not here to alarm — we are here to inform and empower. Maternal mortality is a public health issue with real solutions.

 

Every pregnant person in Tennessee deserves timely, comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care, no matter where they live, who they are, or how they're insured.

 

With awareness, access, and accountability, Tennessee can and must do better for its mothers.
