Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Thriving Hearts: Healing-Centered, Integrated, Community Maternity Care

Thriving Hearts: Healing-Centered Maternity Care: Our model

Mama Hearts: LHDs work with maternity clinics in their county to optimize cardiometabolic health through person-focused, holistic care among pregnant people at risk of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy

Healing-Centered Engagement: Use healing-centered care trainings for staff at the LHD and throughout the county to address compassion fatigue and burnout among maternity health team members, enabling person-centered, respectful care

Loving Connection: Community Health Workers in LHDs provide proactive outreach and ongoing support, connecting pregnant people with resources to address health-related social needs and foster social cohesion to reduce stress and enable maternal health       

WE ARE THRIVING <3

Funding: PCORI, 2024. Thriving Hearts (TM) 2024.

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.
