Family Case Management Program

The Family Case Management Program helps families with a pregnant woman, infant or young child to obtain health care services or other assistance they may need to have a healthy pregnancy and to promote the infant or child's healthy development.

Our goals are:

1. To ensure that pregnant women, infants and children have a physician, and receive regular physical exams and immunizations
2. To help identify and reduce or eliminate barriers to health care and community services
3. To provide health education to eligible clients
4. To reduce infant mortality
