Our Certified Providers Strive to Be a Partner in Your Care; Providing Pregnancy and Well Woman Care to Women throughout Their Lifetime.

Specialty Areas of Care Include:

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is best for moms because it reduces the risk of certain cancers; breast milk is best for babies because it provides protection from allergies and certain respiratory infections. Our Lactation Room provides a private space for moms to learn about breastfeeding and receive breastfeeding support from your health care provider.

Maternal Infant Health (MIHP)

Our Maternal Infant Health staff ensures that pregnant moms experience a healthy pregnancy and successful birth outcomes, with ongoing care and support for both mom and baby. We provide support in our office or in your home, continuing care with your infant as well. Our trained professionals conduct screenings to assess health risks for both mothers and babies, allowing you to partner with the MIHP team in choosing the best care for your family.

MIHP patients receive:

  • Free transportation to medical appointments, WIC, childbirth and parent education classes.
  • Support from experienced health professionals: Registered Nurses, social workers, dietitians, and certified language interpreters.
  • A book to guide you through pregnancy.

If you’re pregnant, you might have questions or concerns about:

  • Prenatal Care
  • Nutrition
  • Transportation
  • Baby Feeding
  • Family Planning
  • Labor & Delivery
  • Childbirth Preparation
  • Housing

Babies don’t come with instructions. Our MIHP staff can help answer your questions about:

  • Baby Care
  • Immunizations
  • Medical Care
  • Health & Wellness

MIHP services are open to pregnant women and all infants with Michigan Medicaid Health Insurance residing in Muskegon County.

Breast & Cervical Cancer Screening Program (BCCCP)

Women 40 years of age and older, may qualify to receive a free mammogram and cervical cancer screen.

Please call Women’s Health Network at 616-632-7283 or 1-888-515-1300 Ext. 7283 to register.

Safe Delivery

If you are feeling scared or unsure about keeping your unborn baby, we urge you to talk to your Nurse Midwife or OB provider immediately. Often, the message of Safe Delivery does not get shared until it’s too late: once a baby has been abandoned or murdered.

Please don’t abandon your baby. Safe Delivery allows parents to surrender their newborn child no more than 72 hours old, to an employee inside and on duty at any hospital, fire department, police station, or by calling 9-1-1. Safe Delivery is a safe, legal and anonymous alternative to abandonment or murder and releases the newborn for placement with an adoptive family. Call the Safe Delivery hotline to discuss your options at 866-733-7733.

Remember this is the safe, legal way and anonymous. Visit www.michigan.gov/safedelivery for more information.
