2026 Perinatal Grand Rounds Webinar Series

Redesigning Prenatal and Postpartum Care: A Collaborative Maternal Health Model for Clinical + Community Integration

What happens when maternal health systems are designed to function beyond the walls of the clinic? This session explores how clinical care and community-based support can work together to improve maternal and infant outcomes across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Attendees will learn where collaboration creates the greatest impact, what each side sees that the other often misses, and how systems can operationalize stronger handoffs, workflows, and continuity of care. Designed for hospitals, public health teams, and maternal health leaders, this presentation offers a practical framework for building more connected, sustainable, and family-centered maternal health systems.
