UnitedHealthcare expands support for maternal and family health care
UnitedHealth Group highlighted new efforts to improve access to affordable health care for mothers and their families, citing rising maternal and infant mortality rates in the United States. The company said gaps in care remain significant, with a reported 36% increase in maternal mortality underscoring the need for expanded support.
Through UnitedHealthcare plans, members can access services such as Maven, a virtual clinic platform offering 24/7 pregnancy, postpartum and newborn support, including virtual appointments, educational resources and care coordination. The company also pointed to community-level investments aimed at improving outcomes for women and children.
In 2025, the United Health Foundation committed $7 million in grants to expand maternal and infant health care access in Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico and Wisconsin. UnitedHealthcare additionally supports the Mom & Baby Mobile Health Center in Washington, D.C., operated by March of Dimes, which provides wellness exams, ultrasounds and infant care services.
UnitedHealth Group said these initiatives are part of broader efforts to strengthen the health system and improve care delivery for women and families nationwide.
