Many pregnant people have chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, or obesity that need ongoing medical care after delivery. Right now, many new mothers struggle to find and schedule follow-up appointments with a primary care doctor after leaving the hospital — even though they need this care. This study is testing whether a simple program that schedules your first appointment before you leave the hospital, sends you helpful reminders, and makes sure your primary care doctor gets all the information from your pregnancy can help you get the care you need.
After pregnancy, many people stop receiving regular medical care for their chronic conditions, even though they need it most. This study exists to help bridge that gap and make sure new mothers get connected to ongoing care when they leave the hospital.

If you join this study, you will either receive routine postpartum care or be part of a special coordination program. If you are in the coordination program, your care team will schedule your first primary care appointment before you leave the hospital, send you personalized text or email reminders, and make sure your primary care doctor receives a complete summary of your pregnancy and health needs. You will be asked to share information through your patient portal and keep your scheduled appointments so the study team can track how well the program works.
