Maternal Health Coalition

Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of mothers and infants throughout Johnson, Iowa, Linn, Benton and Jones Counties. We believe that every woman deserves access to comprehensive, high-quality maternal healthcare and support during this critical phase of life. By uniting the community, healthcare providers, and public health agencies, we aim to create a nurturing and safe environment where all mothers can thrive.

​

Why Maternal Health Matters: Maternal health is a fundamental pillar of a strong and healthy community. It not only impacts the well-being of mothers but also plays a significant role in the overall health and development of their children. By focusing on improving maternal health, we are investing in the future of communities, ensuring healthier generations to come.

​

Our Focus Areas:

1. Access to Prenatal Care: We strive to eliminate barriers to prenatal care, ensuring that all pregnant individuals have timely access to comprehensive health services, screenings, and support.

2. Education and Outreach: Knowledge is power, and we are committed to providing evidence-based information and resources to expectant mothers, families, and healthcare providers. We conduct educational programs and workshops to raise awareness and empower our community.

3. Support and Advocacy: We stand beside every mother, advocating for their rights, dignity, and access to appropriate healthcare. Our coalition provides a support network that nurtures and uplifts women during their pregnancy journey.

4. Mental Health and Well-being: Recognizing the significance of mental health during pregnancy and postpartum, we prioritize mental wellness services and resources to ensure the emotional well-being of mothers and their families.

5. Collaboration and Partnerships: We believe in the strength of partnerships. By collaborating with healthcare providers, community organizations, and public health agencies, we aim to create a comprehensive network that maximizes the impact of our efforts.
