The Virginia Neonatal Perinatal Collaborative exists to ensure that every mother has the best possible perinatal care and every infant cared for in Virginia has the best possible start to life. We believe in an evidence-based, data-driven collaborative process that involves care providers for women, infants and families as well as state and local leaders. We believe that working together now will create a stronger, healthier Virginia in the future.

#DIDYOUKNOW that in Virginia, certain birth defects are more common than others? For example, congenital heart defects are among the most prevalent, affecting about 1 in 100 babies.
