The Prenatal Partnership Program (PPP) is a unique coalition of community- and university-based family physicians working together with family practice residents to provide family-centered maternity care. The partnership was created in 1996 to improve access to care for prenatal patients, facilitate improved communication and information flow within the system, and create new practice management guidelines for consultation and medical admissions.

The PPP maintains a patient database to track demographic data, prenatal and delivery data, and postpartum and newborn follow-up care. Family physicians working in the community health centers of Community Health Network provide obstetrical care to their patients as part of their practices. An annual ALSO (Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics) course is presented for our 2nd year residents and community physicians by UCSF and SFGH faculty and community physicians.
