Other Insights From Rebecca

Becoming a mother is a huge, complicated life transition that can shake every fiber of a person’s being. The process even has its own name: matrescence.
In 2024, the Colorado Perinatal Care Quality Collaborative (CPCQC) innovatively revamped its SOAR Primary Cesarean Reduction program into a one-year, intensive learning collaborative.
As an organization, we are proud of Colorado for prioritizing equitable access to paid family leave during the early postpartum period through FAMLI.
Recent data shows sobering statistics of increased rates of maternal mortality and persisting racial disparities nationwide. This data reminds us that we have so much more work to do to improve equity to access and care for moms, birthing people, and their babies across our country and in our state.
