The New York State Perinatal Association believes that:
- All women are entitled
to prenatal care no matter what the individual circumstances.
- Women and families have
the right to accurate and up-to-date information regarding current research,
practices, legislation and trends which can affect their health decision-making
- particularly those which influence informed choices for the prenatal
period.
- Healthy birth outcomes
and ongoing development are affected by multiple factors which include
a functioning family unit where physical, psycho-social and spiritual
needs are met.
NYSPA promotes these beliefs
by:
- Educating those who are
able to influence policy on prenatal care about issues affecting babies
and families.
- Maintaining up-to-date
knowledge of research and trends in maternal/child health and a mechanism
to distribute that information to the public, health professionals and
key stakeholders.
