Attention Hospitals: Are You Prepared to Turn the Tide on Maternal Health? Substance use during pregnancy is a significant contributor to almost half of maternal deaths in Colorado, with a shocking 90% of these tragedies deemed preventable. Your institution has a critical role to play in this vital initiative. The 1-year Turning the Tide program (formerly CO AIM: SUD) is here to help hospitals and healthcare providers by offering comprehensive education, resources, and personalized support focused on reducing maternal morbidity and enhancing patient outcomes. If you’re interested in learning more, please send an email to qi@cpcqc.org or visit our website for in-depth information on the Hospital Quality Improvement Participation.

Did you know that one in five birthing individuals in the U.S. faces mental health challenges? On this World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that even one is too many. Thanks to the collective efforts of our community, the Colorado Perinatal Care Quality Collaborative (CPCQC) is making significant strides to address these challenges. This year, we secured a historic $1.3 million investment in healthier births for all Coloradans through the Improving Perinatal Health Outcomes Act (SB 24-175). Let’s raise awareness for perinatal mental health and ensure that more mothers and birthing individuals receive the support they need.   #WorldMentalHealthDay #PerinatalHealth #CPCQC #MentalHealthMatters

Day 1 of Our Colorado Tour: Grand Junction Yesterday, Jamie and I kicked off our seven-day tour across Colorado, starting in Grand Junction. Getting to see Vanessa and Susann was a bonus! We partnered with Colorado Perinatal Care Quality Collaborative - CPCQC and the Moms Plus Program as part of The Naloxone Project, visiting St. Mary’s Hospital to tour their labor and delivery spaces. The trauma-informed care and leadership there were truly inspiring, offering moms and babies the compassionate care they deserve. We left feeling refreshed and encouraged by the incredible work being done at St. Mary’s. We also made a stop at Canyon View Women’s Clinic inside Community Hospital, where Operation CARE by HardBeauty is already embedded, providing crucial support for moms in recovery. Susann is our peer recovery coach and serves as the perinatal navigator for Mesa County through CPCQC. I’m so proud of the work HardBeauty is doing in this region, and I look forward to bringing Operation CARE to more Intermountain Hospitals across Colorado. We’re just getting started! Next Stop Alamosa! #MamasRecovers #HardBeauty #RiseUpWesternSlope #MesaCounty

Exciting news from CPCQC! Our Cesarean reduction program, SOAR, has successfully facilitated 4 labor support workshops, designed specifically for doulas, nurses, midwives, family medicine physicians, and obstetricians. These free workshops delve into the current landscape of Cesarean births in America, emphasizing respectful and equitable care in the birthing space. Participants engage in hands-on practice to enhance their skills in labor support, pain management, and positioning to promote safe vaginal births. Together, we’re making a difference in how we support families during labor!
