The American Heart Association (AHA) launched the "Advancing Maternal Health Through Quality Improvement and Professional Education" initiative in July 2022 to develop and implement recommendations for enhanced postpartum systems of care. The initiative focuses on convening clinical and community organizations to implement and test the feasibility of the recommendations, as well as narrow silos in postpartum care and strengthen community-clinical linkages.
