pregnancy care, education & support services
Prenatal care is an investment in the long-term health of our families and community. In turn, fewer dollars are needed for intensive care and special needs. Our programs help Napa achieve more full-term pregnancies and fewer low-weight babies. Our work is making a difference.
Healthy Moms and Babies provides coordinated prenatal care to low-income women. We help over 750 women each year—half of all births in Napa County— through:
