MISSOURI PQC CUFF KIT™ PROJECT
The Cuff Kit™ Project allows for the distribution of blood pressure cuff kits to vulnerable maternal patients at high risk for or diagnosed with blood pressure-related issues.
Overview
Initiative Overview
MHA and the Missouri Maternal and Child Learning Action Network were proud to announce funding from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services COVID-19 Statewide Health Disparities Initiative Grant to support The Cuff Kit™ Project through the Preeclampsia Foundation.
They offered this additional avenue to assist providers in monitoring maternal patients at high risk for or diagnosed with BP-related issues. We believe this project had a unique ability to reach and impact additional lives as we continue to Change Missouri’s Birth Story.
Application Criteria
The application period closed, and recipients were notified in November.
