North Carolina Perinatal Association
An Interdisciplinary Coalition for Healthy Families
Improving Perinatal Health Throughout the State
The North Carolina Perinatal Association provides leadership, education, and advocacy focused on an interdisciplinary approach to improving the health of families during the perinatal period.
Our Mission
The North Carolina Perinatal Association: “A Coalition for Healthy Mothers and Healthy Babies” was formed in 1985 as a non-profit organization.
The NCPA aims to improve perinatal health for childbearing families throughout the state by providing continuing education for perinatal providers across North Carolina and increasing awareness of advocacy issues related to maternal and neonatal health.
Our mission is to improve perinatal health for childbearing families throughout the state by providing continuing education for perinatal providers across North Carolina and increasing awareness of advocacy issues related to maternal and neonatal health.
Our main areas of focus are advocacy and education. We are continuously developing an effective advocacy effort with the North Carolina state legislature and building coalitions with other organizations to engage in cooperative efforts to advance perinatal health.
Educational efforts focus on informing members, policymakers, and the public about issues related to healthy parents, healthy babies, and healthy families.
Our membership is open to individuals from all disciplines. We are parents, nurses, psychologists, social workers, midwives, doulas, physicians, students in health professions, and more.
If you share our passion for improving perinatal health and the wellbeing of families across North Carolina, please join us as a member.

Join me in exploring professional education opportunities, evidence-based practice updates, and advocacy efforts to support the health and well-being of persons of childbearing age. With an active multi-disciplinary group of people passionate about addressing health and healthcare disparities across our state, we can make a difference! We can make sure expectant and new parents have the support and resources they need to thrive.
