What's New!

The New NMCN Website!


The Northern Maternal Child Network (NMCN) is one of six Regional networks established across the province and focuses on improving the maternal child (maternal, newborn, pediatric) health outcomes across the North. One of the Network’s key goal, to connect and coordinate providers, means to support local service delivery across the settings.


The NMCN has launched its very own website to create awareness, share resources/education, and keep the region up-to-date on the latest information.

Check out the different tabs on the site and let us know how we did. This site is to service the Northern Region's Healthcare providers. Please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
