Southwest Virginia Perinatal Council History
In 1992, seven Regional Perinatal Councils were established in Virginia through competitive grants awarded by the Virginia Department of Health.
Carilion Clinic is the lead agency for Region 1. In order to better define our geographic area, Southwest Virginia was added to our title in 1999.
In July 2008 the perinatal regions were realigned which combined Regions I & II to form the new Southwest Virginia Perinatal Council. Offices are maintained in Abingdon and Roanoke, Virginia.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide support for and coordination of perinatal health services at all levels in Region 1 with the ultimate goal of providing risk appropriate care to mothers and babies in the community.
