We are pleased to announce that our Pavilion for Women team was recognized/awarded for our work in 6 different categories at the annual Illinois Perinatal Quality Collaborative (ILPQC) conference held this week in Lombard, IL. We are most proud of the Blue Cross Blue Shield funded quality designation that included a $10,000 monetary award to be used towards staff education and continued partnership with our community. We were 1 of 12 Illinois birthing hospitals to receive this designation in this category. We were recognized for our work in the following areas:

-Neonatal Abstract of Excellence Award: Improving Safe Sleep Education

-ILPQC data Champions Award

-Equity and Safe Sleep for Infants: On the path for QI excellence Award

-Perinatal Mental Health: Outstanding Launch Award

-ILPQC Patient and Community Engagement Champion Award

-ILPQC Illinois Birthing Hospital Quality Designation: Birth Quality Star Award ($10,000)

We’re proud to share and celebrate the incredible work of our Pavilion for Women OB Team!

What is Birth Equity?  It’s the assurance of conditions that allow all people to experience optimal birth outcomes, grounded in a sustained commitment to confronting racial and social inequities.

We are honored to be part of this important work and grateful for our team’s ongoing efforts to support every family we serve.
