Make a Difference: Direct Service Providers & Nonprofits

The places where the birthing people you serve live, work, and play matter for their health. How are you creating livable communities and helping birthing people thrive in them?

What local dashboard users are saying:

“When you feel that you’re not alone, it feels much better, it gives you motivation, and when you see the information of the website, the dashboard that has a lot to be done, you want to be part of this change.”

– Direct Service Provider

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 Direct Service Provider or Nonprofit. 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 Civil Servants.
