A big step forward for Arizona families!

The Arizona Perinatal Trust joins the Maternal Health Coalition in supporting HB2051 and HB 2072 to improve access to lactation support and strengthen Arizona's perinatal workforce. Both bills passed by the Health and Human Services Committee with unanimous support!

Together, we can impact the health outcomes of Arizona's mothers and infants.

Watch the expert testimony of Arizona's mother, Michelle Bohne, a lactation consultant, Kimberly Moore-Salas, IBCLC, and our CEO, Dr. Laurie Wood.

The CDC Foundation spotlights the work of the Arizona Perinatal Trust on its website.

"At APT, creating space for this dialogue is rooted in establishing and strengthening respectful maternity care that promotes dignity, privacy, and confidentiality of pregnant women and mothers and provides continuous support during labor and birth. This type of care gives women a space to voice their concerns and understand their options."

NOVEMBER IS PREMATURITY AWARENESS MONTH!

Across the United States, 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely each year. In 2024, nearly 380,000 babies were born before 37 weeks gestation.

Preterm labor is one of the leading causes of infant mortality.

Arizona's preterm birth rate shows slight improvement at 9.7 when compared to 9.9 in 2023; however, there is more we can do.

Please look at the newly released March of Dimes Report Card 2025 to see how Arizona compares to other states and what it means for our communities.

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.
