About the Collaborative

The WSPC is a volunteer group of public and private organizations, state agencies, health care providers, and community members committed to improving the health of Washington’s pregnant and postpartum people, their infants, and their families.

We work with a variety of partners to implement initiatives that improve perinatal health outcomes. Our work is based on recommendations from the Maternal Mortality Review Panel, best practice guidelines and research, and the needs of Washington families.


Join our Network

The WSPC is a statewide consortium of individuals interested in improving perinatal health. We host bi-annual meetings that are open to public participation and distribute perinatal health information and opportunities through our monthly newsletter and listserv.
