Preconception care is
recognized as a critical component of health care
for women of reproductive age. The main goal
of preconception care is to provide health
promotion, screening and interventions for women of
reproductive age to reduce risk factors that might
affect future pregnancies. Through a two-year
collaborative effort, CDC has successfully aligned
the efforts of a number of its external partners and
internal programs to develop a set of 10
recommendations for improving preconception health
and care. These recommendations serve as a
strategic plan for improving the health of women,
their children, and their families.
