• Missouri doesn't require asking pregnant patients about their mental health. New moms keep dying (thebeaconnews.org) — New mothers in Mexico are highlighted as facing long drives and limited options for pregnancy and postpartum mental health care, since the town no longer has a hospital or local delivery services. A local therapist describes patients' fears about being honest on screenings and their frustration when help is hard to find. The story ties Mexico's challenges to a broader statewide pattern of preventable, mental health–related maternal deaths.
