Beginning July 1, 2025, two new laws go into effect that impact the provision of maternal health services in Tennessee. Tennessee law (2025 Public Chapter 0099) requires that all hospitals and birthing centers that provide labor and delivery services shall provide a mother and, if possible, the mother’s caregiver or at least one (1) of the mother’s family members, information about post-birth warning signs, including symptoms and available resources, prior to discharge following a birth. It also requires that the Department of Health provide information about post-birth warning signs, including symptoms and available resources, to all hospitals and birthing centers and have the information available on the department’s website. Tennessee law (2025 Public Chapter 0046) amends the current law regarding blood testing during pregnancy by adding hepatitis C to standard serologic tests during pregnancy and increasing the frequency of syphilis testing during pregnancy.

We invite you to a maternal health webinar focused on these two important maternal health laws. The webinar is open to all who want to learn more. Register today to be a part of this important conversation!
