Based on data from the National Vital Statistics System. A maternal death is defined by the World Health Organization as “the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and the site of the pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes” (1). Maternal mortality rates— the number of maternal deaths per 100,000 live births—are shown in this report by age group and race and Hispanic origin. This report updates a previous one that showed maternal mortality rates for 2018–2022 (2). In 2023, 669 women died of maternal causes in the United States, compared with 817 in 2022 (2) (Figure 1, Table). The maternal mortality rate for 2023 decreased to 18.6 deaths per 100,000 live births, compared with a rate of 22.3 in 2022.
In 2023, maternal mortality rates decreased significantly for White non-Hispanic (subsequently, White) and Hispanic women (Figure 2, Table). The observed decrease for Asian non-Hispanic (subsequently, Asian) and increase for Black non-Hispanic (subsequently, Black) women was not statistically significant. In 2023, the maternal mortality rate for Black women was 50.3 deaths per 100,000 live births and was significantly higher than rates for White (14.5), Hispanic (12.4), and Asian (10.7) women. Rates decreased significantly for women ages 25–39 and age 40 and older between 2022 and 2023 (Figure 3, Table). Rates in 2023 were 12.5 deaths per 100,000 live births for women younger than age 25, 18.1 for those ages 25–39, and 59.8 for those age 40 and older. The rate for women age 40 and older was nearly five times higher than the rate for women younger than age 25. Differences in the rates between age groups were statistically significant.
The event will feature interactive educational programs, information tables and counseling assistance on prenatal care, postpartum care, diet & exercise, healthcare coverage, financial counseling, parenting, pediatric care and much more.
In a country where the best medical services are available, programs that focus on reducing maternal mortality are critical to bring awareness to the issue and put in place system changes to ensure positive outcomes for birthing women.

Carrying Our Grief Together
2025-10-11 13:00 - 15:00 | Vernon Park, 5800 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia, 19144, United States
The late African spiritual teacher Sobonfu Somé, who came from the Dagara people of Dano village in Burkino Faso, said: “Communal grieving offers something that we cannot get when we grieve by ourselves. Through validation, acknowledgement and witnessing, communal grieving allows us to experience a level of healing that is deeply and profoundly freeing.”
Join Salt Trails, a Philadelphia collective that has been holding community grief rituals since 2021, for its 5h annual community processional, Carrying Our Grief Together.
This is an invitation to reach across our cultural divide of individualism and privatization, to acknowledge the heartaches we carry, to stand on common ground, human to human, moving together with our grief. Together, we’ll create a pageantry of grieving as a collective protest, refusing to rise above and get over our experience. We will instead claim our grief as natural, as sacred, as a common, unifying mystery that softens and transforms how we relate to ourselves and each other.
We invite you to join us on Saturday, October 11, from 1-3 pm. in Vernon Park, 5800 Germantown Avenue, Philadelphia. We will be joined by the Philadelphia Threshold Singers. Together we will walk through the park, using music, ritual and movement to express our grief.
You are encouraged to “wear your grief,” as you feel inspired. This event is free to attend but donations are appreciated.
The rain date is Sunday, October 12, from 1 – 3 p.m.
