Making Illinois the Best Place to Give Birth and be Born
What We Do
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.
ILPQC works closely with the Illinois Department of Public Health Regionalized Perinatal System, state health agencies, associations, and advocacy groups to improve obstetric and neonatal care to reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality.
