The government would officially recognize the week of May 3-9, 2026, as "National Postpartum Awareness Week for Communities of Color" to highlight health challenges that affect mothers of color after childbirth. This designation aims to raise awareness about postpartum complications, mental health issues, and maternal mortality rates that disproportionately impact Black, Hispanic, and other communities of color. The recognition would encourage healthcare providers, organizations, and the public to focus attention on improving postpartum care and support for these communities.
