The mission of the organization is to improve birth outcomes and promote healthy families by providing access to care, education and support to those facing the physical, emotional, economic and social challenges of pregnancy and infant care.
The Organization is the Prenatal Entry Agency for the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach County's Healthy Beginnings system of care. Through prenatal screening, assessment and linkage to services, the Organization supports clients in need of prenatal care access, health care navigation, medical payment source and other intensive social service needs to improve their birth outcome. This fiscal year, 6,306 pregnant women completed a Healthy Start Prenatal Risk Screen, 2,519 of those women received an individualized intake and were screened and assessed for prenatal needs. Of these, 96% were confirmed into prenatal care through an established medical home and medical payment source. Through a wide variety of programs, the organization has touchpoints with more than 70% of women who deliver babies in Palm Beach County.
Centering Pregnancy is a unique, evidence-based model of client-centered group prenatal care that provides health assessment, education and social support. With sites throughout the county, eight to twelve pregnant women with similar gestational ages meet as a group, receiving dedicated time with a medical provider and health facilitator to learn care skills, develop a support network with other group members and ensure access to prenatal healthcare built upon trusted relationships. Centering is proven to nearly eliminate racial disparities in birth outcomes. This fiscal year, 377 pregnant women were served by the program in English, Spanish and Creole. Of those who delivered, only 3% experienced preterm deliveries and just 3% delivered low birth weight babies.
Caps and Cribs Teen Mom Mentoring is a one-on-one mentor program that supports the educational, life, career and parenting goals of teen mothers in Palm Beach County. Volunteer mentors are matched with pregnant or parenting teens in high schools and provide guidance, inspiration and real-life experience in a trusting environment to empower teens to become independent, self-sufficient young mothers and to support the elimination of repeat pregnancies. The program has been awarded the National Quality Mentoring System badge by MENTOR for four consecutive years, providing an evidence-based acknowledgment of the strong standards, safety and efficacy of the Caps & Cribs program. During this fiscal year, the organization served 39 teen mothers through this program, 8 were seniors and graduated from high school.
