Prenatal care is essential to monitor the progress of a women’s pregnancy and identify potential problems that can result in a negative birth outcome. Women who receive late or no prenatal care are at higher risk of having babies that:

  • Arrive too soon
  • Are born too small
  • Have birth defects
  • Have developmental issues
  • Develop chronic medical conditions

PRENATAL CARE GOALS

1. Support StepOne, a centralized information and referral service for pregnant women.
2. Ensure access to prenatal care and identify gaps in availability.
3. Decrease the number of deliveries with no prenatal care

INITIATIVES

Implement a centralized information and referral service for pregnant women to ensure enrollment in prenatal care
Assess the current trends in prenatal care access to identify gaps.
