Our Vision & Values
The Maternal Health Network has established a unifying vision and a set of values that all members prescribe to in their individual organizations.
One of the key pillars of collective impact work is a shared vision. The Maternal Health Network adopted a shared vision at the first Community Summit in March 2019. The vision and values provide Network members with a shared framework for how they will approach their work collectively and individually to support the health and wellbeing of families engaged in the maternal health system in San Bernardino County.
Vision
The Maternal Health Network of San Bernardino County empowers, respects, and supports families before, during and after pregnancy to optimize health and well-being for babies and mothers.

Across the service spectrum, women are supported, feel safe, are treated with respect and are provided the information they need to make the best decisions for their health and the health of their child before, during and after delivery.
