This summit provides evidence-based knowledge and expertise to providers and nurses caring for mothers and newborns. The 2023 NPQIC Fall Summit will provide a foundational understanding of the current black maternal health crisis and the landscape of black maternal health in Nebraska. Sessions will equip health care teams with the most up-to-date practices around severe maternal morbidities, trauma-informed care, and chronic conditions and substance use in pregnancy.
