We are ever closer to our goal of better understanding and protecting America’s mothers from postpartum related mood disorders thanks to the incredible focus of U.S. Senator Robert Menendez.
The MOTHERS Act has been successfully included and passed in the Senate version of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The Senator’s office will now continue to work closely with House advocates to ensure it remains in the reconciled version of the bill which will then be presented to Congress for final passage.
Dr. Shosh comments: This is truly fabulous news and long-awaited. Many years of tireless effort has gone into this bill. My colleagues and I are confident that the Mothers Act, now included and passed in the Senate will pass in Congress as well.
