Mississippi health officials declared a public health emergency last week in response to the state’s rising infant mortality rate.
Doctor Dan Edney said the best way to reduce infant mortality is by improving maternal health. “That means better access to prenatal and postpartum care, stronger community support and more resources for moms and babies,” Edney wrote.

Mississippi: “Not like that.”
