Our presenters will explain prenatal barriers that prevent adequate prenatal care, including Medicaid concerns. The speakers will discuss how Healthy Start services support families in reducing the factors and situations that place pregnant women and infants in jeopardy of poor outcomes. They will also share ways we can all make a difference in changing the outcomes for both mothers and their babies.
