AMCHP aims to build state and local capacity to promote safe motherhood and enhance women’s health before, during and after pregnancy. To address this important goal, AMCHP has partnered with CityMatCH to form a Women’s Health Partnership to explore how to build the knowledge base, gather promising strategies, develop tools and influence policies to improve health for women of reproductive age. This project aims to identify unique opportunities for state and local MCH programs to improve women’s health during preconception and interconception periods. The Women’s Health Partnership is focusing on how to achieve healthy weight in women of reproductive age.
With funding from the CDC's Division of Reproductive Health and HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau, AMCHP and CityMatCH have formed a Women’s Health Partnership to identify and promote unique state and local MCH roles and opportunities to ensure and improve women’s health before and between pregnancies. Initial efforts (2005-2007) will focus on the importance of healthy weight among women of reproductive age to improve maternal health and birth outcomes.
