Description
Maternal morbidity and mortality are a significant crisis in the U.S., particularly for disproportionately impacted populations. Multi-sector and multi-stakeholder collaboratives are bringing together clinical providers, community organizations, people with lived experience, and other key partners to address the crisis and the persistent inequities that are driving substantially poor outcomes. These collaboratives are using data-led and inclusive strategies to implement new programs and initiatives.

During this virtual preconference session, presenters will provide insights into how they are using data and forming trusted relationships to tackle the complexities of the maternal health crisis in their state and community. Preconference Sponsor Telligen will speak to how they’ve leveraged their networks to strengthen collaborations and advance health equity for mothers and infants. The event will offer three deep-dives into communities across the country, including Ohio and Nevada, featuring presentations from Civitas members Comagine Health, Telligen, and The Health Collaborative.
