High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of pregnancy complications for both mothers and babies. Conditions such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia can develop without obvious symptoms but may lead to serious health risks if not treated early.
The Georgia Perinatal Quality Collaborative Impact Award recognizes hospitals and care teams across the state that demonstrate a strong commitment to improving maternal and infant health outcomes through evidence-based care practices and safety protocols.
Tanner’s Women and Children’s Services teams were recognized for their work to better identify, monitor and treat hypertension during pregnancy and after delivery. These efforts help reduce risk and support safer outcomes for both mother and baby.
Malia Poole, MSN, RN, accepted the award on behalf of Tanner Health’s Women and Children’s Services teams.
“At Tanner, we are focused on providing safe, high-quality care for every patient,” said Moe Boles, vice president of child maternal services at Tanner Health. “This recognition reflects the dedication of our teams to improving maternal health and supporting families in our community.”
