Health Professional Tools

Building on resources developed by the American College of OB/GYNs and their Postpartum Care Bundle, the 4th Trimester Team, with input from moms and community providers has been working to create tools for change. Below is a list of resources for clinics and health care systems to try to improve postpartum care. Materials support patient education and postpartum planning as well as hospital discharge, the transition home, and the postpartum visit.

Learn more about opportunities to implement postpartum tools in clinics and communities here. Find upcoming Communities of Practice sessions and request technical assistance for NC sites.

Welcome to NewMomHealth.com™

We envision a world where every woman receives the social, emotional, physical, and economic support she needs to successfully transition through the postpartum period and into her new identity and life as a mother. Health care systems, businesses, and society should value and respect women not only for what they bring to families, communities, and nations but also for who they are in and of themselves.
