All Programs

The momobile program empowers pregnant women and families to overcome daily challenges to achieve better maternal health and healthy child development. Staff review client needs and work together to create an individualized set of goals. Regularly scheduled home visits, with additional face-to-face and telephone contacts, ensure that women have the resources, knowledge and support needed to build a healthy foundation. Clients also receive referrals to community-based resources and parenting education. Several momobile sites offer the evidence-based healthy families America program and the federally funded healthy start program.
