New Jersey’s maternal and infant health strategic plan, Nurture New Jersey, aims to reduce maternal and infant mortality and morbidity and ensure quality in care and in outcomes for mothers and infants across the state. This resource includes background information on maternal and infant health disparities, detailed strategies for improving health outcomes, and key policy recommendations. The Strategic Plan identifies three proximal objectives: (1) ensure all women are healthy and have access to care before pregnancy, (2) build a safe, high-quality system of care and services for all women during prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum care, and (3) ensure supportive community environments and contexts during every other period of a woman’s life so that the conditions and opportunities for health are always available.
