Understanding Transportation Barriers in Perinatal Care: Your Input Needed
Access to prenatal and postpartum care is vital for the health of mothers and their babies, yet transportation remains a significant hurdle for many families. The Region 9 Perinatal Quality Collaborative is addressing this issue by conducting a survey to gather insights and improve transportation solutions.
Importance of the Survey
Ensuring that every family can access quality healthcare during pregnancy and early childhood is essential. Transportation is a crucial factor in facilitating this access. The survey aims to gather valuable data to understand:
- What transportation barriers families face when seeking prenatal, postpartum, and infant healthcare
- Where there are gaps in transportation services in the region
- Potential partnerships and solutions for future transportation improvements
- Ways communities can better support families with young children
This information will be instrumental in shaping strategies to enhance equitable access to perinatal care.
Who Can Contribute?
This survey is open to a variety of participants, including:
- Pregnant individuals
- Parents and caregivers of infants
- Family members assisting with transportation
- Healthcare providers
- Community organizations
- Anyone supporting families during pregnancy and early childhood
Residents of Hillsdale, Jackson, Lenawee, Livingston, Monroe, and Washtenaw counties are particularly encouraged to participate.
Quick and Impactful
The survey takes only 5–7 minutes to complete, yet the information gathered can significantly impact the region’s families by improving access to necessary healthcare services.
Supporting Healthy Starts
