Maternal and Infant Health Program (MIHP)
MIHP stands for Maternal and Infant Health Program. 
It is our mission to provide pregnant women and babies with high-quality support services to help make sure both you and your baby are healthy and well. MIHP services are provided by licensed Social Workers, Registered Nurses, and Registered Dietitians. We work with you one-on-one and refer to local agencies to help you and your child to have the best start possible.
During your pregnancy, our team can visit you in your home or a place that is comfortable for you. After your baby is born, we will help you build a healthy future for you and your child by providing home visits.
