The Colorado House recently passed legislation requiring the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to report on maternal health outcomes for Black birthing parents and known causes of any disparate outcomes. House Bill 1044 requires health care providers to undergo cultural competency training as part of their continuing medical education (CME). Birthing facilities would also be required to provide information to patients who request it about their rights, which include the right to “culturally sensitive, evidence-based care” and the right to have a birthing companion and family member during the birth.
