Learning
Collaborative

The Cradle Cincinnati Learning Collaborative (CCLC), launched in 2005, is a network of more than 200 healthcare professionals representing hospitals, community health centers, home health agencies, and social support organizations. These representatives are committed to transforming prenatal care for women and their families. At the heart of our work, we believe in providing equitable care that centers women’s voices and experiences.

Using quality improvement science, data-sharing and an “all teach, all learn” model, the CCLC serves as an opportunity to activate change within the prenatal care space. We aim to reduce preterm birth by focusing on activities related to the following key drivers: first trimester access to care, maternal tobacco cessation, connection to community health workers and team-based prenatal care.
