UNC Collaborative for Maternal and Infant Health UNC CMIH aims to improve the health and care of birthing parents and infants in North Carolina

The UNC Collaborative for Maternal and Infant Health (CMIH) is a partnership between the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics within the School of Medicine. CMIH aims to improve the health of women and infants by providing quality collaborative care, translating evidence-based strategies into practice, and developing new approaches to complex problems. CMIH benefits from a stron

g relationship with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Schools of Public Health and Social Work, as well as with the UNC Healthcare system, resulting in mutually beneficial clinical, community, and research efforts. CMIH has a proven record of implementing large scale projects to improve maternal and infant health, including the NC Perinatal Care Region IV Perinatal/Neonatal Outreach Coordination (PNOC) project, the ERASE Maternal Mortality initiative, the You Quit, Two Quit Perinatal To***co Cessation Quality Improvement Initiative, the NC Safe Sleep Campaign, and the NC Preterm Birth Prevention - 17P Project. The Center also provides national leadership on preconception and postpartum care. CMIH’s website, MomBaby.org, is a main source of information on improving maternal and infant outcomes in North Carolina. The site contains both provider and consumer information, including evidence-based clinical practice algorithms, patient education resources, and referral pathways for clinical services for high-risk mothers and infants.

Did you know that 4 in 5 maternal deaths in the U.S. are preventable?

That means partnership, research, and lived experience integration aren't optional—they're urgent.

At MoMMAs Voices, we help hospitals, health systems, public health agencies, maternal health programs, quality improvement initiatives, and implementation teams operationalize meaningful patient and family partnership through lived experience integration, patient partner readiness, facilitation, and implementation support.

Our frameworks, networks, and resources are designed to make meaningful partnership easier to launch, implement, and sustain—because improving maternal health outcomes requires listening to and learning from those most impacted.

Together, we can move from awareness to action and help create safer, more equitable care for all families.
