The Preterm Birth Prevention Hub Initiative

Supporting Early and Ongoing Prenatal Care

The goals of this initiative are to provide early access to prenatal care before 9 weeks and to provide women of reproductive age (13–49) with a well visit.

Connecting Mothers with Resources

Early and consistent prenatal care is linked to lower rates of preterm birth, low birthweight, and pregnancy-related complications, helping improve infant and maternal health outcomes across Ohio.

How We Engage

The All Medicaid Managed Care Organization Quality Improvement Collaborative helps promote timely visits and best practices by engaging with systems of care.

Our Focus

Improve women’s health before, during, and after pregnancy to reduce preterm birth risk and support healthier births.
