EARLY START PNCC
What Do We Do?
Early Start Prenatal Care Program assists new and expecting mothers by assessing their current situation and providing support, guidance and information at a time that can be difficult and overwhelming for them and their families.
We will match our clients with one of our trained and experienced Care Coordinators. Our Care Coordinators then work with the family to assess what areas they most need help with. We help many families find housing and employment as a part of this service. The family and the Care Coordinator then create a plan to address these issues and set goals to meet. Finally, the Care Coordinator provides information about community resources to support the family in meeting the goals established in their individual care plan
At Early Start PNCC helps women that are currently pregnant or recently given birth. We provide resources that will help them cultivate positive familial environments.
