What it says it does

In 2025 the induction of labor decision aid continued to be disseminated across the country. Nearly 7,000 people accessed the induction decision aid on the Partner to Decide website. The American College of Nurse-Midwives endorsed the decision aid in their updated 2025 position statement on induction of labor. Dr. Peralta and Kari Radoff were featured on the Evidence Based Birth podcast and gave talks and presentations to diverse audiences including the national network of perinatal quality collaboratives, medical schools, and birthworker convenings. Partner to Decide established a Community Steering Committee, a diverse group of recently pregnant and postpartum individuals from the greater Boston area. This group met in person in July and then twice virtually in the fall. Dr. Peralta worked with clinical collaborators at Boston Medical Center and the University of Alabama on a new decision aid regarding the choice to have a vaginal birth after cesarean or a repeat cesarean.

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
