The wellbeing of people who give birth is vital to the wellbeing of our communities as whole. How are your local policies supporting birthing people and families?
What local dashboard users are saying:
“It was useful for my staff and for me to reference the dashboard for local data and it was also useful for being able to share … information that isn’t normally consolidated in one location.”
– Elected Official
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 Local Legislators and Staff. 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, Direct Service Provider & Nonprofits, or Civil Servants.
