Our Birth Equity team manages and convenes 3 Community Alignment Boards (CABs) for Family Connects Chicago (FCC), a universal postpartum nurse home visiting program. With these Community Alignment Boards, we aim to align resources for families enrolled in the program, improve our current maternal, infant, and child health systems in Chicago, strengthen collaboration amongst social service and medical providers, and advocate for effective policy changes. We are excited to partner our new FCC CAB members and continue our partnership with continuing members.
