REACH CNY hosts a Sub-Council meeting in each of the counties of Cayuga, Madison, Onondaga, and Oswego which consist of groups of health and social service providers and consumers.

Each Sub Council meets 3-4 times per year a site in the respective county to work toward:

• Improved knowledge about perinatal health issues and services among health & human service providers and consumers
• Increased communication and coordination  among agencies to improve consumers’ access to services and resources
• Collaboration on projects and advocacy to address the needs of pre-conceptional and pregnant women, and their families
• Sharing of challenges, and successes

Meetings often include presentations addressing specific priorities including:  access to care, quality of care, program development, best practices, prematurity, behavioral concerns including mental health, HIV, domestic violence, adolescent births and pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and other topics to help providers improve and coordinate services to meet the community’s needs.
