Who Do We Serve?
The Prematurity Prevention Initiative (PPI) is a program of Family Health Initiatives, a subsidiary agency of The Cooperative. The Prematurity Prevention Initiative leverages a statewide partnership with the Partnership of Maternal & Child Health of Northern New Jersey to support prematurity prevention efforts across New Jersey.
The Prematurity Prevention Initiative engages everyone with a role in preterm birth prevention—from pregnant individuals and their support networks to the community at large and systems of healthcare and social service providers. The Prematurity Prevention Initiative is inclusive, serving people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, income levels and insurance status, including those who are uninsured and underinsured.
While embracing all, the Prematurity Prevention Initiative focuses special attention on African American birthing individuals in New Jersey who are at greatest risk of premature birth.
