This metric refers to the percentage of pregnant people initiating prenatal care at a known point during pregnancy, whether in the first, second, or third trimester.
As of fall 2022, 91.4% of pregnant people began prenatal care at a known trimester during their pregnancy. This means that our region falls within the 4th quartile (i.e., the least favorable), showcasing room for growth to reach our target of being within the 1st quartile (i.e., 95.33%-98.65%) To reach our goal of 95.33%, an additional 493 more pregnant people would need to initiate prenatal care during a known trimester.
