Low income pregnant women at high risk of poor birth outcomes need a variety of services to ensure they have healthy babies and the tools to become good mothers. They may need transportation, prenatal care, medication, nutritional counseling, substance abuse treatment, smoking cessation classes, child development education, or home maker services. Yet it is often difficult women to receive the level of care they need when these services are offered by many different community organizations.
BabyCare provides pregnant women with the support and services they need through intensive case management and coordination of care. The program aims to improve birth outcomes by ensuring pregnant women and infants receive all the services they need. BabyCare is provided in 22 of the local health district offices and a small number of private community organizations.
