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.
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.”
