Connecting Care for Mothers and Families Across Virginia

When community organizations have the right resources, Virginians get better outcomes.

Throughout its lifespan, the Emergency Department Care Coordination (EDCC) program has continuously improved features and strengthened partnerships to better support maternal health care coordination across the Commonwealth.

By providing access to real-time alerts, patient history and shared insights, the EDCC program helps care teams connect with providers, anticipate needs and reach patients in critical moments.

Strong Local Partnerships Backed by Data

Organizations like Urban Baby Beginnings demonstrate just how powerful healthcare partnerships can be. The Richmond-based nonprofit provides community support for pregnancy, birth and postpartum care, empowering families to take control of their health journeys.

By using the EDCC program, the Urban Baby Beginnings team can identify when a client receives emergency care, follow up quickly and tailor their outreach based on each client’s unique medical history and ongoing needs. This collaboration strengthens mothers’ voices in their own care and leverages local support systems to improve outcomes for families facing systemic barriers.

For organizations like Urban Baby Beginnings, which is committed to improving care coordination, the EDCC program offers the data and tools to turn information into action.
