The 2026 conference held special significance as it aligned with the ten-year anniversary of Black Maternal Health Week.

The Mid-Coastal California Perinatal Outreach Program (MCCPOP) is located at Stanford University School of Medicine, Division of Neonatology. MCCPOP leaders include neonatologists and maternal fetal medicine specialists who consult on perinatal clinical care questions and provide education on current standards of care for mothers and newborns. These leaders partner with the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative (CMQCC) and the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative (CPQCC), as well as other specialists and healthcare providers at Stanford Medicine, to provide a full spectrum of expertise, supporting high quality care for newborns and for women. For over forty years, the Annual MCCPOP Perinatal Potpourri Conference has provided current advances in maternal, fetal, and neonatal medicine for healthcare providers around the world. Perinatal clinicians and other experts present on a variety of topics through lectures, panel presentations and case-based discussions.

This year’s program included a focus on multiple advances in perinatal care. Some included topics:
