pregnancy support!
We’re on the Same Team
The Welcome Baby program provides an extra layer of in-home support for your patients. With virtual and in-person visits and check-ins, we can help ensure families receive the services they need to have a healthy pregnancy and give their babies the best start.
We’re committed to providing this extra support to as many families as possible. Please let them know it’s available!
Welcome Baby’s home visiting services can help your patients:
Get health coverage and keep appointments with their prenatal and pediatric providers
Achieve their breastfeeding goals, with personal lactation support
Identify perinatal depression and get connected to mental health services
Access support services available in the community, like WIC, CalFresh, and CalWORKs
Receive early intervention services for babies with developmental delays
Learn about bonding and attachment and home safety
And more…
“The services Welcome Baby provides are absolutely complementary to what we’re trying to do.”
“Welcome Baby Parent Coaches bond with patients in their own homes, providing an extra layer of support to my in-office care.”
