Mayor Muriel Bowser has nominated Dr. Jamila Perritt for reappointment to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee, where she will represent a community organization focused on women's health, teen pregnancy, or public health. This nomination aligns with the Confirmation Act of 1978 and the Maternal Mortality Review Committee Establishment Act of 2018, with Dr. Perritt's new term set to conclude on January 10, 2028. Dr. Perritt is a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist with a strong background in reproductive health advocacy, having served as the Medical Director at Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., and holding degrees from Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, and Howard University.

The proposed resolution confirms Dr. Perritt's reappointment, highlighting her expertise in addressing maternal mortality and improving women's health outcomes in the District of Columbia. The resolution is deemed legally sufficient by the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor and emphasizes the importance of her continued involvement in the committee's efforts to advance maternal health initiatives. The Council is encouraged to act promptly on this nomination to ensure ongoing representation of community health interests.
