OUR CONTIUUM OF CARE

What We Do

We imagine a world where everyone can experience a safe, healthy pregnancy and birth. In Colorado, we work with healthcare providers, state agencies, insurers, and community groups to improve care for mothers and babies and prevent avoidable deaths and injuries. As trusted partners, we strengthen clinical and community healthcare teams by sharing expertise and advancing evidence-based improvements in care.

Why Now?

Every family deserves access to high-quality, respectful perinatal care. Yet, our current system produces unequal outcomes—especially for Black and Indigenous communities. CPCQC is working across Colorado to change the systems that shape maternal and infant health so that all families have the opportunity to thrive.

Maternal Deaths

Rising Rates of Maternal Mortality

Maternal deaths are rising in Colorado. Most are preventable, revealing urgent and addressable gaps in care and support.

Preventable Harm

9 in 10 deaths are preventable

Nine in ten maternal deaths in Colorado are preventable. Suicide is the leading cause, showing urgent need for mental health care.

Infant Mortality

Rates vary substantially by race

Black infants in Colorado face nearly triple the mortality rate of white infants, reflecting differences in access to and quality of care.

For Hospitals

We are trusted partners with a shared commitment to the best healthcare experience and outcomes possible for mothers and babies.

“I am so proud of the work our physicians and nurses at Vail Health are doing as we participate in SOAR. Being a part of this project with other Colorado hospitals has given us the support and spirit to invigorate the work we do at Vail Health. For the past three months, the cesarean rate for our first-time, low-risk mothers has been below 13%. We are making a significant difference in the lives of families in our community, helping to prevent maternal morbidity and mortality.”
