Establishes the "Compassion and Care for Medically Challenging Pregnancies Act" to support pregnant women with lethal fetal anomalies.
The "Compassion and Care for Medically Challenging Pregnancies Act" defines key terms and mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to compile a list of perinatal hospice services available in Iowa and nationally. The department must post this list and related information on its website in both English and Spanish. Health care practitioners diagnosing a lethal fetal anomaly can inform pregnant women about these services and offer referrals. Perinatal hospice services provide comprehensive support from diagnosis through the infant's death and postpartum period.
