Maternal and Child Health provides prenatal and postpartum maternal and infant health education and services. We offer services via in-person, phone, or zoom for prenatal and postpartum women and families with infants up to one year of age. Services are provided by a Registered Nurse or Licensed Social Worker. A Certified Medical Interpreter is available for Spanish if needed.
Services include-
Our cornerstone, a prenatal education series called Becoming a Mom® launched in Saline County in 2010. Curriculum from the March of Dimes delivers this evidence-based series to expecting families in Salina and surrounding areas at no cost to the participant.
We are also excited to offer the comeback of the Incredible Years; Parents and Babies Program®. Our "Incredible Babies" sessions help caregivers of infants understand what your baby age 0-12 months is trying to communicate to you, as well as the developmental milestones they will be hitting. 6 weekly classes of evidence-based bonding and communication time during 1-hour sessions will be available virtually, from the comfort of your own home!
Finally, we are pleased to launch our "Bosom Buddies" Community Lactation Closet Initiative. We are accepting donations of new or gently used nursing bras and other new or reusable breastfeeding supplies for mothers in need in the community. Through our lactation counseling and home visiting services, we have had an increase of mothers who lack the ability to access supplies for breastfeeding comfort and hygiene. We hope to gain community support to assist these mothers.
Our in-house Spanish language interpreter is available for all services and all classes offered. Medical interpretation in other languages is available upon request.
