2006 Annual Report


annual reportIn 2006, we released the results of our second second national survey, Listening to Mothers; continued to work with prominent organizations like the National Quality Forum and the Disclosure Project of the National Partnership for Women and Families to help ensure that the need to improve maternity care quality is included in the overall health care debate in Washington; worked to correct the premise that women are demanding c-sections without medical intervention; and much more.

"Empower yourself with knowledge. Do your own research, and don't rely on your care provider for all the information you need. That's the most important thing I can think of for mothers to know. You can't possibly make the best decisions for yourself if you don't have every scrap of information available."

Every woman has the right to health care before, during, and after pregnancy and childbirth.
