The AIM CCI project will expand from the pilot phase to national implementation, introducing the AIM CCI model to 19 new communities across the U.S. in 2023 – 2024. As an AIM CCI partner, your community will establish a Local Maternal Safety Workgroup (LMSW, see AIM CCI Roadmap here) to implement the AIM CCI Community Care bundles across a network of both clinical and non-clinical community-based providers and social service organizations. As a partner, your LMSW will have access to Technical Assistance from the AIM CCI national team to help you implement the bundles as well as contribute your community’s data to the national AIM CCI database. AIM CCI partners will receive financial support to implement the project at the community level.

Partnering with Communities

The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health—Community Care Initiative (AIM CCI) is a federally funded project focused on improving maternal health outcomes through the use of Maternal Safety Bundles in non-hospital settings. In a cooperative agreement with the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and the National Healthy Start Association, AIM CCI is partnering with community organizations in areas with high maternal mortality and morbidity. By leveraging the knowledge and reach of community organizations, together we seek to uncover, address, and overcome systemic inequities that lead to poor maternal health outcomes.

The Realities of Maternal Morbidity and Mortality in the U.S.

In the United States, many people may believe that severe health risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth are a thing of the distant past. However, the number of birthing persons who die or experience severe health problems as a result of pregnancy and childbirth has been rising over the last 30 years. For birthing persons of color, the negative outcomes are disproportionately high. The need for a new approach to address problems in maternal health care is clear.
