Sarasota County is pioneering an innovative program by partnering with Unite Us to pilot their care coordination platform. The Plan of Safe Care is a federal mandate to identify and support pregnant women with a history of substance use by providing ongoing care coordination for the families after birth until the child is five years old. Targeted interventions: First 1,000 Days Sarasota formed a county-wide Plan of Safe Care task force. The group meets every other month and offers guidance on their social media campaign, community murals, and initiative marketing strategies. Parent participation: A parent advisory committee ensures parents’ voices are woven into every aspect of the initiative. We’re proud to partner with organizations like First 1,000 Days Sarasota, which connects families with community resources such as financial assistance, healthcare, and food during pregnancy and in the first 1,000 days of life.Ĭare coordination: Sixty-five organizations and over 110 unique programs have joined Unite Florida in Sarasota County, connecting CBOs, pediatricians, obstetricians, and local government agencies to provide care coordination to low-income families and their children.

Empowering Partners to Drive ChangeĪt Unite Us, we work with community-based organizations, health systems, and government partners to ensure all women and infants, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes, have a chance at a safe and healthy life. It is only by continuing to leverage evidence-based, novel interventions, that communities will be able to help meet mothers where they’re at, when they need help most. These services, which range anywhere from community-based doula programs to freestanding birth centers, demonstrate the importance of adopting a human-centered approach to identify needs and improve outcomes. Through their community-driven approaches and culturally competent models of care, CBOs are not only better equipped to address the unique challenges and unmet needs of mothers and infants across communities, but also provide access to wraparound services that go beyond traditional models of care.
That’s why we are dedicated to advancing equity and improving maternal health outcomes for all pregnant people and new parents. However, we continue to have the highest maternal death rate of all developed countries, and we are the only industrialized nation with a rising rate. Improving maternal and child health outcomes is a top priority for decision-makers and community stakeholders across the country. This May, Unite Us is recognizing maternal health by highlighting a collaborative approach to improving maternal and child health outcomes.
