I’ll make sure our hospitals change for her, her newborn daughter, and every Black woman. I’m rooting out racism in our healthcare system until all women receive the care they deserve, no matter the color of her skin.

Kelly commits to keep pushing changes in hospitals and healthcare until Black women and all women receive equitable maternal care.

Evidence

Kelly introduced the WELLS Act, a maternal-health bill named for Mercedes Wells, a Black constituent who was discharged while in active labor and then gave birth in a truck. The release says Kelly will keep fighting until Black women are heard and receive the care they deserve.

Concrete maternal-health advocacy action tied directly to Black women and pregnancy care.

The current homepage still highlights the WELLS Act as a featured maternal-health item and references Mercedes Wells' experience, showing the office is still publicly centering Black maternal health.

Current official site continues to foreground the same advocacy, but it does not show the promise has been fulfilled.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Robin L. Kelly clearly advanced the promise through direct maternal-health advocacy, including introducing the WELLS Act and keeping Black maternal health centered in her office’s public agenda. But the evidence does not show that Black women have actually received the promised care before, during, and after pregnancy, so this is not full delivery. The record supports meaningful effort and partial fulfillment, not completion.
