Our maternity care system needs a stronger foundation and a friendlier front end.
The United States had a maternity care crisis even before COVID-19 changed everything. As we rebuild, health systems and other stakeholders face mounting challenges amid a drastically shifting landscape of care delivery and payment. Now more than ever we need solutions that provide safe, respectful, human-centered care—and access for everyone.
The problem is not that we don’t know what works.
It’s that we have failed to invest in and scale up the models and practices that do.
Let's change that.
We have enough evidence to know how to improve outcomes for mothers and babies and to reduce racial and ethnic disparities.
Primary Maternity Care has deep experience in models and practices that:
Safely reduce cesarean rates
Prevent preterm birth
Improve mental and physical health
Address social and behavioral determinants of health
Coordinate care across the risk spectrum
Reduce costs
