Join Us in Making a Difference in Maternal Health!
Thank you for your interest in the Regional Maternal Health Coalition, an initiative of Maternal and Family Health Services (MFHS)!
MFHS is developing a regional maternal health coalition (RMHC) in a 14-county service area, using the CDC’s State Strategies for Preventing Pregnancy-Related Deaths. MFHS is also using principles of community engagement to select, implement, and evaluate the 2024 Pennsylvania Maternal Mortality Review Committee recommendations for improving maternal health outcomes, promoting maternal health equity, and reducing health disparities.
This group of community members and professionals will represent diverse interests related to the promotion of maternal health and prevention of pregnancy-related deaths. Care providers will include professionals in maternal fetal medicine and obstetrics/gynecology, midwifery and registered nurses, psychiatry and addiction medicine, emergency medicine, family medicine, anesthesiology, community health, social work, violence prevention, health statistics, coroners and medical examiners, and government agencies.
Our Mission and Goals
Our mission is to improve maternal health outcomes, with a continuous focus on equity and inclusion, by addressing maternal health issues at the local level through the creation and enhancement of regional coalitions. We aim to do this by:
- Enhancing maternal health services.
- Fostering collaboration among healthcare providers.
- Empowering communities with knowledge and resources.
Please note: This form is an application to be considered for the commission. Completion of this form does not guarantee acceptance into the commission, as we are working to ensure that the individuals selected represent a wide variety of demographic and occupational characteristics.
