Last week, IMPLICT staff attended the inaugural Pe Last week, IMPLICT staff attended the inaugural Pennsylvania Maternal Health Symposium in Altoona, PA. Hosted by the Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF), the symposium brought together healthcare personnel, community-based organizations, policymakers, and those with lived experiences to discuss maternal health innovations, and promote collaboration in advancing the Pennsylvania Maternal Health Strategic Plan.

Staff participated in breakout sessions focused on rural health and maternity care deserts, behavioral health and substance use disorders, and efforts to expand and diversify the healthcare workforce. Presentations emphasized the importance of perinatal health-related social needs screenings and continued support throughout the fourth trimester. 

The IMPLICIT Network is dedicated to supporting the efforts of the Pennsylvania Maternal Health Strategic Plan by expanding the utilization of our Interconception Care (ICC) and 4th Trimester models of care, and through our collaborations with other maternal health organizations.
