AGP Executive Report

Last update: 25 minutes ago

Maternal Health Crisis in Alabama: A new ACLU of Alabama report says Alabama is the nation’s most dangerous place to be pregnant, with a maternal mortality rate of 65 deaths per 100,000 births overall and 100 per 100,000 among Black Alabamians, citing long travel to care, financial barriers, and gaps in mental-health support. Heat and Mental Health: UAB psychiatry experts warn that extreme heat can worsen anxiety, irritability, and decision-making by draining the brain’s ability to regulate emotions. Food Safety Alert: Taylor Farms expanded jalapeño recalls tied to a multistate salmonella outbreak affecting at least 345 people across 27 states, including Alabama; shoppers are urged to check product lists and avoid recalled items. Nutrition Research: A new study links vitamin B12 deficiency to weaker muscle energy production in mice, adding to concerns about frailty and muscle weakness in older adults. Maternity Care Access: A March of Dimes report finds more than 34% of U.S. counties are maternity-care deserts, forcing longer trips for labor and delivery. Community Health Support: United Way kicked off a $5 million fundraising drive in Tuscaloosa to back local health and human services.
