Louisiana SB32 establishes a Perinatal Bereavement Care Initiative within the Louisiana Department of Health.

Louisiana SB32 creates a Perinatal Bereavement Care Initiative within the Louisiana Department of Health. This initiative aims to provide resources to hospitals that offer maternity care, including training for hospital staff on interacting with grieving parents, perinatal bereavement devices, and identifying available bereavement services such as grief counseling and support groups. The initiative prioritizes hospitals that lack access to bereavement devices, treat a high number of high-risk maternal patients, and deliver a high number of babies.
