Who We Are
ILPQC is a statewide network of perinatal
clinicians, nurses, hospitals, patients, public
health leaders and policymakers that aims
to equitably improve outcomes and reduce
disparities for mothers and babies across
Illinois.
What We Do
Active Initiatives
Birth Equity (BE) Initiative
Hospital teams across Illinois facilitate systems and culture change to support conditions of optimal births for all people to address maternal disparities and promote birth equity.
Equity and Safe Sleep for Infants (ESSI) Initiative
Building upon the foundational work of the ILPQC Birth Equity initiative, hospital teams across Illinois will promote neonatal equity, address racial and social inequities, and seek to reduce neonatal health disparities in sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) related to the sleep environment.
