Our mission
Our mission is to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies. Our goals are to end the preventable maternal health risks and deaths, end preventable preterm birth and infant death, and close the health equity gap. The maternal and infant health crisis is real. But so is our impact. From providing access to quality health care to mobilizing our community to create lasting change for moms and babies, we're ensuring families can get the best possible start.

• Dismantle racism and address unequal treatment
• Increase access to high quality healthcare
• Build safe and connected communities
