Organization
The Community Perinatal Network is comprised of the professionals and programs working within 
the region to provide optimal perinatal healthcare to all women and children. We have quarterly 
networking, liaison educational meetings, special interest taskforces, and publish periodic reports on 
the health status of women and children. We collaborate with many other organizations and programs 
to share data, perform needs assessments, provide education, develop standards of care, provide 
forums for perinatal professionals to meet others with similar interests and develop linkages. Our goal 
is to assist the community to meet the Year 2010 Objectives as set forth in Healthy People 2010.
