Maternity Care Coalition

Description

MCC works to reduce infant mortality and improve maternal and child health and well being through outreach to high-risk communities to identify, connect with and assist pregnant women and families with prenatal, well baby, and other needed services. MCC's signature program, the MOMobile, is a community-based outreach and family support program. The MOMobile uses mobile outreach vans (MOM-mobiles) and door-to-door canvassing to help pregnant women in neighborhoods known to have high rates of infant mortality, teenage pregnancy, poverty, child abuse, and neglect, or limited knowledge of community resources and children's health insurance programs.
