The Maternal Child Health project began in 2020 as an initiative to coordinate with Lincoln pediatric and maternal healthcare providers to focus on improving the quality of healthcare provided to children and pregnant women through ongoing quality improvement projects. The project has since shifted focus and expanded to four Nebraska communities - Lincoln, Crete, Grand Island and Lexington - currently working on identifying barriers to accessing early and adequate prenatal care and implementing solutions to those barriers. In the Lincoln area, a resource guide was developed as a trusted directory of resources to support families in a healthy pregnancy and postpartum journey. View the Lincoln Community Resources for Pregnancy & Postpartum Care. Also available in Spanish. These resources can be found online at HealthyLincoln.org/PregnancyCare.
