About The Maternal Health Council of Kentucky
The Maternal Health Council of Kentucky started in March of 2023 with a mission to not only help bring many community resources together but to also make a change in maternal care in the state of Kentucky. We are continually working to help families with resources and creating a support system that will impact them for a lifetime.
