VISION: Preventable maternal, fetal and infant deaths are eliminated.
MISSION: The infant mortality rate is a measure of the health and well-being of a community. The Maternal, Fetal and Infant Mortality Review Panel is a thoughtful, humane and careful process that promotes collaboration among health care professionals and their communities. The Panel works to reduce maternal, fetal and infant deaths and such risks as premature births and low birth weight. It takes a broad, holistic approach to improving the quality of life for all of Maine’s women, infants and families.
SCOPE: Over the past decade groups like the Maine Panel have been set up all across the country. Maine’s Panel is based on a national model. The Review Panel gathers medical, demographic and community information which is not available through other efforts. This broad-based approach is essential for evaluating how well local agencies and community resources serve our women, children and families.
