Maternal and infant health has been identified as a priority health concern and is a part of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
Maternal and infant health is crucial for the well-being of future generations, as it lays the foundation for healthy lives. Ensuring proper care during pregnancy, childbirth, and infancy reduces the risks of complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, and maternal mortality. Healthy mothers are more likely to raise thriving children, which in turn strengthens communities and economies. Investing in maternal and infant health promotes long-term societal stability, supports emotional and cognitive development, and contributes to the overall health of populations.
Join an Issue Action Group – your voice matters!
TCC is launching Issue Action Groups (IAGs) focused on health priorities identified in Calhoun County’s Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). We are recruiting community members and organizations to join an IAG and collaborate with us toward creating a healthier Calhoun County!
Join the Maternal and Infant Health Issue Action Group (sign-up here) that meets the 2nd Monday of each month from 11 am-12 pm ET via Zoom.
Issue Action Groups will meet virtually and collaboratively work together to address these important health priorities. If you have any questions or want to learn more, reach out to our IAG Facilitator, Hannah Mesa at hmesa@summitpointe.org or (269) 420-0382.
