Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care (WAPC)

In 1970, a multidisciplinary group of perinatal care providers formed the Wisconsin Association for Perinatal Care. WAPC was organized for the purpose of promoting perinatal health to all mothers and infants in Wisconsin. The original objectives of WAPC were to organize perinatal centers around the state; educate staff providing services within these centers; and, educate staff in outlying hospitals about how to stabilize, treat, and refer perinatal patients.

Mission:
• Leading collaborative efforts that promote, develop, and coordinate systems of evidence-based, high quality perinatal care in Wisconsin
• Providing and supporting professional educational programs that focus on the continuum of perinatal care
• Valuing and engaging the talented and diverse community of perinatal health care advocates
• Increasing public awareness of perinatal health

Vision:
Their vision is a world where every baby is born healthy, wanted, and into a family prepared to nurture, love, and support.
