Our Team
The Maternal Fetal Newborn Standing Committee provides a provincial forum for patients, families, clinicians and other stakeholders to support maternal health (prenatal to postpartum), fetal health, and optimize care and outcomes for newborn babies.
Our work takes place on historical and contemporary Indigenous lands, including the territories of Treaty 6, Treaty 7 & Treaty 8 and the homeland of the Métis Nation of Alberta and 8 Métis Settlements. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous communities that have been forged in urban centres across Alberta.
