The Initiative
The National Initiative on Preconception Health and Health Care (PCHHC) is a public-private partnership that began in 2004. The PCHHC is comprised of a steering committee and five workgroups: Consumer Clinical Public Health Research and Surveillance Policy and Finance
Vision
The vision of this work is multi-faceted and includes that: All women and men of
childbearing age have high reproductive awareness
All pregnancies are intended and planned
All women of childbearing age have health coverage and receive needed screenings and services before pregnancy to improve their health and reduce the risk of a poor birth outcome
Goals
1. To improve the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of men and women related to preconception health.
2. To create health equity and eliminate disparities in adverse maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes.
3. To assure that all U.S. women of childbearing age receive preconception care services that will enable them to achieve high levels of wellness, minimize risks, and enter any pregnancy they may choose to have in optimal health.
4. To reduce risks among women who have had a prior adverse maternal, fetal, or infant outcome through interventions in the postpartum/interconception period.
