Atención prenatal
During pregnancy, you have access to a Care Coordinator (trained nurse). They can help you set up doctor visits and tests. If you have health issues, it's good to know you will have resources to help. Your Care Coordinator will check in with you to talk about how things are going. You will also have access to educational classes and info to help you learn about what to expect and how to make good choices to stay healthy.
Post-Partum Care
After your baby is born, you still have support as you start your journey as a new parent. Your Care Coordinator can let you know how to find information about post-partum care. They will talk with you about how you and your baby are doing. Having trouble getting enough sleep? Dealing with depression? There are resources to help. Also, you can get a breast pump at no cost to you. Or earn gift card rewards when you complete a timely post-partum visit with your doctor.
