VGM 2021 Plenary: AIM CCI: A Community Approach to Improving Maternal Outcomes
This was a plenary from the 2021 Virtual Grantee’s Meeting. The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Community Care Initiative (AIM CCI) takes a unique approach to improving maternal health outcomes by partnering directly with local community organizations. Local organizations understand the unique experiences and unmet social needs of women / birthing persons in their region. Through this partnership, AIM CCI seeks to build a culture and structure of health care that ensures birthing persons receive equitable treatment based on all of their needs. During this session, the AIM CCI Leadership Team of NHSA provided an overview of AIM CCI, including its goals, current activities, and connection with and potential impact for Healthy Start communities.
