Thriving Hearts: Healing-Centered, Integrated, Community Maternity Care

Prior to implementation of the Thriving Hearts package of services, people living in participating counties will receive usual care for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum services. The study team will quantify existing services using a study-developed usual care assessment instrument.

"Thriving Hearts is a collaboration among LHDs in ten North Carolina counties. At the individual level, pregnant individuals will self-screen for HDP risk during prenatal visits, and those at risk will be provided a Mama Hearts Care Kit, including a home blood pressure monitor, low dose aspirin, and culturally tailored educational materials.~At the healthcare provider level, burnout and compassion fatigue will be addressed through skill-building activities, including training in the Community Resilience and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.~At the community level, Loving Connection will provide proactive material and social support through Community Health Workers, text messaging-based communication, a medical legal partnership, and capacity-building support for community-based organizations."
