Maternal health care offers a critical opportunity to offer comprehensive care to a specific population. Well-woman visits allow obstetrician-gynecologists a unique angle to promote a healthy lifestyle and responsible choices to women of a reproductive age, in addition to promoting preventative services. In addition, maternal health is an area where the effects of the social determinants of health are often very evident. Having an awareness of the broader health influences are crucial to providing comprehensive care, particularly in this population. However, this is rarely something that the obstetrician can do alone, and the help of an effective, coordinated care team is extremely effective. 

Often related to maternal care, pediatric health care also offers exclusive opportunities to provide patient, or family centered care. Involving the patient and their family in decisions from the start creates an environment where the patient is an active participant in their own care. In addition, children often present unique healthcare needs, whether that be behavioral, mental, or traditional clinical medicine. A coordinated care team can lead to significantly better health outcomes, and allow their younger patients the quality of care they deserve.
