Finding Answers, Saving Lives: Highlights From Missouri's 2025 PAMR Annual Report
Each year, the Missouri Pregnancy‑Associated Mortality Review Board takes a close look at the lives lost during or within one year of pregnancy. The 2025 PAMR Report underscores not only the scope of maternal mortality in Missouri, but also the steps being taken to improve outcomes for women and families statewide.
More than just numbers, these reviews help uncover the stories behind maternal deaths — why they happen, who they affect, and most importantly, what can be done to prevent them. In the latest blog from the Missouri Perinatal Quality Collaborative, the MO PQC team reviews the report, discusses what the MO PQC is doing to improve outcomes for birthing people in Missouri, and outlines what comes next in their work to improve maternal health outcomes.
