There's an ongoing need to spread awareness and improve understanding of preeclampsia, even within the medical community. Our goal is to provide resources for patients and their caregivers to ensure all women receive timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. As part of our ongoing commitment to patient and provider education, we participate in national and state quality care collaboratives and other practice improvement initiatives to reduce maternal and infant death and disability due to preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
