For nearly 150 years, Providence Hospital has maintained a simple yet intensely challenging pledge to provide health care with compassion, respect, and generosity of spirit, especially for the most vulnerable members of our society. The Center for Perinatal Advocacy at Providence Hospital was developed to establish a legacy to improve maternal and child health in the District of Columbia. The Center for Perinatal Advocacy aims to improve the understanding of maternal and child health and health care issues by public and private sector individuals and community partners. The goal of the Center for Perinatal Advocacy is to improve birth outcomes and decrease infant mortality in the District through implementation of best practices and policy.
