Real people. Real help. Real results.
Maternal mortality rates in the United States are among the highest in the industrialized world. Every year, people in the United States die of pregnancy-related causes at more than double the rate among nations with similar levels of income.
Maternal mortality statistics in the United States have actually worsened over the past 20 years, even as rates among peer nations have generally improved. In addition, each year, tens of thousands of birthing people experience severe morbidity — unintended consequences of pregnancy that result in life-altering health challenges, such as severe heart issues, hemorrhages, seizures, and blood infections.
Why focus on maternal health?
Underserved populations experience significant maternal health disparities compared to other populations:
- 60% of maternal deaths are preventable
- Black people are 3 times more likely to die of complications from childbirth
- 42% of births are financed through Medicaid

Get Well supports cross-continuum, personalized digital engagement
Get Well’s Maternal Health and Equity program addresses your patients’ clinical and social needs, building trust and loyalty and improving health outcomes and equity.
Virtual care navigation
Get Well’s digital patient navigation solution, GetWell Navigate, uses a blend of technology and virtual care guides hired from within the communities they serve to build trust, engagement, and local support. Through both automated and human touch points, Get Well gathers important information about a person’s care experience, assessing patients for clinical risk factors and offering guidance across the full patient journey.
This helps to identify barriers to care at the individual level and then helps personalize that support so people are getting connected to the right healthcare and community resources to address their own needs.
Digital care management
Get Well’s digital care management solution, GetWell Loop, engages and supports patients before their hospital stay at the time when it is most needed and is accessible on a device that is familiar, using plain language and accessible information.
A 32-week prenatal Loop helps to prepare people for the inpatient birthing experience, discussing what is expected during each trimester and providing information on physical changes, fetal growth and development, nutrition needs, birth planning, and pain management.
A post-delivery Loop guides patients through discharge instructions and helps ensure patients comprehend their treatment plan and that they comply with instructions, covering topics including Caesarean section, vaginal delivery, and pre-eclampsia.
