California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative and California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative are quality improvement organizations comprising over 90% of California’s maternity and neonatal intensive care units. The safety and well-being of the healthcare workers, patients, and communities of California hospitals is our top priority. We have aggregated the following resources about COVID-19 in maternal and infant health to help hospitals and healthcare workers respond to the situation as it unfolds.
As this is a rapidly evolving public health pandemic, we encourage you to take into consideration the most recently available local health department and CDC guidance when developing your internal protocols. We have dated all of the links and organized them with the latest news first to support your information gathering. We will be updating this webpage frequently as new information becomes available. All the information on this website is published in good faith and for general information purposes only. From our website, you can visit other websites by following hyperlinks to external sites. While we strive to provide only quality links to useful and ethical websites, we have no control over the content of these sites.
