Best Babies Collaboratives

• Consist of agencies/organizations/associations that implement the Healthy Births Initiative Core Approaches to improve birth and pregnancy outcomes, strengthen community support to pregnant women and families and increase their ability to care for newborns;

• Work with the Healthy Births Learning Collaboratives, LA Best Babies Network and other Best Babies Collaboratives to increase opportunities for shared learning, demonstrating measurable progress and mobilizing for action; and

• Agree to work in collaboration with others and understand that no one agency, organization or individual can undertake the comprehensive, integrated, multi-level approach required to improve pregnancy and birth outcomes. National evidence demonstrates that communities that work together can improve pregnancy outcomes. Collaboration, will ultimately improve pregnancy, birth, family and community outcomes in Los Angeles County.
