Perinatal Advisory Council: Leadership, Advocacy, and Consultation (PAC/LAC)

The Perinatal Advisory Council: Leadership, Advocacy, and Consultation (PAC/LAC) was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) agency in 1981 to improve perinatal outcomes in Los Angeles County. PAC/LAC began to promote cooperation among persons/institutions providing perinatal care and developed/supported a regionalized perinatal system to include education, referral transport and data evaluation. The original goals have evolved to meet the needs of the region PAC/LAC serves. In the 1980s there was a large void in perinatal education provided to hospitals. To meet this need, PAC/LAC sought out hospital staff across three counties to attend monthly educational events/annual conferences to stimulate dialogues about evidence-based practices.
