Do You Feel Heard?
Across the United States the CDC reports:
- Almost half of women did not ask questions or share concerns during their maternity care
- 1 in 5 women reported mistreatment while receiving maternity care
Crucial Voices of Arizona is a campaign dedicated to improving respectful care practice across our state. We listen to and share the stories of Arizona women from diverse backgrounds.
These women and those that support them highlight opportunities to improve healthcare while encouraging others to confidently speak up to advocate for themselves or someone they care about.
Building on their voices, the Arizona Perinatal Trust provides resources and tools to help women, families, healthcare professionals, and organizations to better identify, foster, and engage in respectful maternity care practice with the aim of improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
