Description

North Carolinas Perinatal Quality Collaborative, a program aimed at improving infant health and care standards, has been disbanded due to budget cuts. The state now faces potential devastating consequences, as it stands alone without such a program, with an infant mortality rate ranking tenth highest nationwide. The collaborative, which united healthcare professionals from urban and rural areas, achieved significant successes, including a 925% return on investment and substantial savings for hospitals. Without it, high-risk pregnancies may face even tougher odds. Checkout Solipillow.com
