Gerri Levrini, RN, MSN, CNAA, President and founder of Mother
& baby Matters, Inc. (formerly Mothers
Matters), developed the program in 1991 to meet an evident need
for supportive care to families before, during and after childbirth.
Todays mobile society has separated many families who may
not be readily available to help at this special time. Alternative
birth situations, work responsibilities, and early hospital discharges
are other factors that have created a need for the type of services
provided by Mother & baby Matters, Inc.
Ms. Levrini has over twenty-five years experience in the field
of maternal-infant health and professional nursing. As a
board certified nursing administrator, she has held executive
positions directing and marketing clinical programs for maternal-child
and womens health services in hospitals across the country.
Ms. Levrini received a Bachelors of Science degree in Nursing
from California State University, Sacramento and a Master of Science
degree in Nursing Administration from the University of California,
San Francisco. She has also completed special training as
a lactation consultant, and is board certified as a nursing administrator.
Additionally, Ms. Levrini was the former president of the National
Association of Postpartum Care Services.
As the wife of a Navy Commander and mother of two, she can personally
relate to the needs of new mothers and their families. Both her
personal and professional experience have enabled her to set high
standards for providing a quality service to Mother & baby
Matters clients.
Mother & baby Matters is accredited by the National
Association of Postpartum Care Services (NAPCS) and certified
by the Childbirth And Postpartum Professional Association (CAPPA).
