Maternal Health

Our maternal health nurse can enroll you in the Maternal Health program. It is focused on first time moms but is available to anyone that would like education about pregnancy and birth processes, fetal development, newborn care, breastfeeding education and a home visit after delivery.

The nurse can assist the client in obtaining health insurance, choosing a provider, finding prenatal education classes, learning local family resources, referrals for other services such as learning for life, immunizations, family planning and WIC.

All pregnant women who reside in Iowa are eligible to enroll in the program regardless of insurance status. Eligibility for no fee or sliding scale fee will be determined by income and household size. Medicaid eligible women will not have a fee.
