U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., is joining a legislative effort to turn the tide on such grim statistics. Bonamici joined the Black Maternal Health Caucus, launched by Reps. Alma Adams and Lauren Underwood, to sponsor a package of bills under the umbrella of the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2021. Sen. Cory Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, is also a sponsor.
"Virginia Garcia is a trusted health care provider serving our community, including those most in need," Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici said in the release. "This award of $10.2 million will help us defeat the pandemic, expand vaccinations in an equitable way, make COVID-19 testing and treatment more widely accessible and increase capacity during the pandemic and beyond.
"It will help the senior citizen in Seaside who needs a vaccine but doesn't have access to the internet," Bonamici said in a statement. "It will help the new mom and her husband, both paramedics, who don't have access to paid family leave and can't afford child care.
