The Perinatal Advisory Council: Leadership, Advocacy and Consultation (PAC/LAC) has been a leading maternal and child health organization since its incorporation as a non-profit agency in 1981. PAC/LAC’s mission is to improve perinatal health outcomes by providing leadership, education and support to professionals and systems caring for women and their families. Children’s health and well-being start with a healthy pregnancy and the events that occur during an infant’s first few hours of life. PAC/LAC strives to make those first health experiences the best by ensuring that pregnant women, babies, and families are cared for by the most competent professionals in well-equipped health care settings. PAC/LAC has a long-standing reputation of excellence in the community for our work with hospitals and health care professionals.
