Tribal Maternal Health Steering Committee Meetings
The steering committee is composed of health care, community health, traditional healers, and other maternal health professionals who work with pregnant women and those of childbearing age in tribal communities across Arizona. Meetings are designed to share data, best practices, and new ideas to support pregnant people and their families. The Steering Committee also informs ITCA’s work on implementation of the Tribal Maternal Health Strategic Plan.
