Ensuring mothers and infants receive high-quality care no matter
Who They Are.
Where They Live.










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.
Rising Rates of Maternal Mortality
Maternal deaths are rising in Colorado. Most are preventable, revealing urgent and addressable gaps in care and support.
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.
Rates vary substantially by race
Black infants in Colorado face nearly triple the mortality rate of white infants, reflecting structural inequities.
