Action Plan
To reduce the number of preterm births in our community to less than 9.4% of all live births, Canton City Public Health will:

- Identify “champions” who have received services from CHWs/HUB who can engage other pregnant women with focus on Black/African American women.
- Expand engagement with obstetricians for referrals.
- Daily monitoring of caseloads
- Monthly meetings between HUB Coordinator, CHWs, and CCA Supervisors
- Feedback from client, Early access and attainment of needed services
- Establish baseline for the number of fathers who are supported by the Fatherhood CHW to obtain needed services.
