In concert with Merck for Mothers’ Safer Childbirth Cities Initiative, a coalition of funders including Community Health Acceleration Partnership, The Nicholson Foundation, and The Burke Foundation, supported for the Greater Newark Healthcare Coalition (GNHCC). GNHCC and its partners educated health care providers on best practices for maternity care, developed a public education campaign to increase awareness of serious complications associated with pregnancy and the post-natal period, and disseminated recommendations to local stakeholders.
