On Mother’s Day, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched Moms.gov, a groundbreaking website for new and expecting mothers. This first-of-its-kind resource offers guidance and information to support the health and well-being of mothers and their families.

Moms.gov also supports expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies. It features information about pregnancy centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, nutritional guidance, Trump Accounts, and other resources that allow maternal and infant health to thrive.

“This Mother’s Day, the Trump Administration is strengthening its commitment to America’s families by equipping mothers and fathers with the resources and information they need to build healthy, prosperous lives,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “Moms.gov delivers critical tools and support to help parents foster healthy pregnancies, strengthen young families, and create brighter futures for their children. This is how you Make America Healthy Again.”

“On Mother’s Day, we recognize that the health of mothers and the health of women are deeply connected” said Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women’s Health Dorothy Fink, MD.  Through our Perinatal Improvement Collaborative [PDF], we have reduced maternal mortality by 41.5%.  We remain committed to supporting women’s health throughout motherhood and at every stage of life,”

Moms.Gov is an easy-to-navigate platform that features information on:

  • Support Services and Health Centers (Pregnancy Centers and FQHCs).
  • Nutrition quick facts for mothers based on the Dietary Guideline for Americans.
  • Trump Accounts.
  • Trump Rx.
  • Resources for women and parents.
  • Preconception health.
  • Breastfeeding.
  • Mental health.
  • Adoption.

To Make America Healthy Again means providing the chance for families to excel physically, mentally, and in their social and spiritual well-being. Moms.gov is an important new federal resource in support of that goal.
