These collaborations help identify challenges, share experiences, and improve access to care and support during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

The Importance of Parent and Caregiver Input
Families are experts in their own experiences.
Parents have firsthand knowledge of finding prenatal care, navigating healthcare appointments, and seeking post-birth support. Their insights are vital in identifying effective strategies and areas needing improvement.
For families in Livingston County, discussions might cover transportation, access to prenatal and postpartum services, trustworthy information sources, and community support connections.
No healthcare expertise is required to contribute. The perspective of parents and caregivers is highly valued.
