County Data Repository
Build a profile of rural maternal health data for any set of U.S. counties — with state and national comparisons and full source citations.
Open the repositoryImproving maternal health in rural areas often requires close collaboration among clinics, labor and delivery hospitals, and social service programs. To support this, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP) funds rural maternal health networks that expand access to care and improve outcomes for mothers and infants.
- Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies (RMOMS) Program: Launched in 2019, this program funds networks to coordinate the continuum of care, leverage telehealth and specialty care, and improve financial sustainability of maternal health services.
- Delta Region Maternal Care Coordination (Delta MCC) Program: This 2024 program expands and improves health care services before, during, and after pregnancy for mothers who live in the Delta Region.
The resources and tools provided here were developed using data reported by these networks through the RMHD cooperative agreement. They can help you build and strengthen a network, implement innovative strategies across the full continuum of care, and use data to highlight and communicate your program's impact.
