Every agency, bureau, or department in your city touches the lives of birthing people in some way. How are your programs supporting the wellbeing of moms and families?
What local dashboard users are saying:
“This data … makes us realize things that we didn’t know or even think about [as maternal health] and it’ll help us form programs and form initiatives.”
– Civil Servant
The Maternal Wellbeing City Dashboard provides data and narratives to help you identify which maternal health priorities may have the greatest impact to improve birth equity in your city. These data can also help you obtain accountability for results, and track progress toward achieving equitable wellbeing for all.
The use cases below provide examples for how you could use the dashboard from your position as a Civil Servant. One of the most important values of the dashboard is as a tool to engage other local stakeholders about maternal health — check out how others could use the dashboard as Policy Advocates, Local Legislators & Staff, or Direct Service Providers & Nonprofits.
