The Healthy Start program provides case management, home visiting, and health education to help pregnant women get the care they need to have healthy babies. We help connect women with family planning services, prenatal care, and pediatric care. We also help women get the care they need between pregnancies (interconceptional care). Philadelphia Healthy Start is part of a national program to reduce infant mortality, low birthweight, and other poor perinatal outcomes.
