Project Type(s):
Population Health/Implementation
A partnership to support perinatal health, family well-being, and early childhood development during the first 1,000 days (conception through a child’s 2nd birthday).
The Raising Washington Initiative seeks to develop an evidence-based, fully integrated perinatal support program that promotes the health and well-being of families during the first 1,000 days. The program will provide coordinated care, parenting support, health and wellness resources, and connections to community services for all families receiving care within UW Medicine.
Through patient- and provider-informed care pathways, family navigators, and accessible information and resources, Raising Washington will help families successfully navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and early childhood. While available to all families, the program will also identify those who may benefit from additional support and connect them with specialized services to address their unique needs as early as possible.
