-Again, trained professionals who are aware and equipped to deal with incompetent cervix and complications from it

-A community of support per US Region (and then onto globally) including local support groups, online support, and ways to pair families with counseling

-Through funding, be able to offer financial support to Incompetent Cervix families whether to help cover a doula to work with their MFM team, or to help cover the extreme medical costs that can come with this diagnosis.
