Postpartum care is an essential period for achieving the long-term health and well-being of a mother and her child. The FPQC’s vision is that all of Florida’s mothers, infants and families will have the best health outcomes possible through receiving respectful, equitable, high quality, evidence‐based perinatal care. Respectful Maternity Care is founded on the premise that women should not be mistreated in childbirth.
