The well being and health promotion of Black women are at the core of every interaction. We pair our mothers with health professionals of similar backgrounds, well versed in the many challenges facing the Black American and the Black immigrant maternal health populations of South Florida.

How we differ from the rest:

Our cases managers have smaller caseloads, than the typical Obstetric Case managers, permitting a higher touch frequency.

​

Our case managers follow clients before, during, and 13 months after pregnancy.

​

Coordinate and encourage medical appointments: prenatal care, routine vaccinations, and dental care.

​

Our case managers provide in-depth education on chronic and acute disease states.
