Collaborative for Maternal & Infant Health - Serving Moms and Babies in North Carolina

Serving Moms and Babies in North Carolina

Families are at the heart of our work. We serve women before, during and beyond pregnancy, their infants, and those who care for them. Our vision is that all mothers, babies and families thrive.

REsources for PRactice

At the heart of our work are the pregnant women, babies and families we serve. The Collaborative focuses on helping women with high-risk pregnancies and families with medically fragile infants to navigate a complex health care system, working with them to make sure they are receiving the best care and support available.

Implementing Best Practices

Program Spotlight:
You Quit, Two Quit

Since 2008, CMIH has provided free training and technical assistance to support improved tobacco use screening and cessation counseling for reproductive-age women, including pregnant and postpartum women. This program provides essential services and support for health care providers caring for women, especially with the rise of vaping in NC, providing a solid return on investment for NC taxpayers.
