CARE Project
Current CARE site partners across Ohio
Ohio ranks in the lower third nationally for maternal morbidity and mortality and infant mortality, with significant poor health outcomes. To improve maternity care, the Ohio Department of Children and Youth (ODCY) is supporting OPQC’s CARE Project that aligns with the recently released Joint Commission health equity standards: use of stratified self-reported demographic data, use of patient feedback to develop action plans, and assessment and response to health related social needs.
In collaboration with ODH and the Ohio Hospital Association, OPQC launched CARE with 13 sites across Ohio in October 2023. We have launched the second year of the project with a new group of sites.

An introduction to the CARE Project, by Dr. Meredith Smith of Cradle Cincinnati & Queens Village
Hear Her. You could help save a life.
Too many women die each year in this country during pregnancy or in the year postpartum. Every death is a tragedy, especially when more than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths could be prevented.
CDC's Division of Reproductive Health is committed to healthy pregnancies and deliveries for every woman. The Hear Her campaign supports CDC's efforts to prevent pregnancy-related deaths by sharing potentially life-saving messages about urgent maternal warning signs.
