HELPING NEW FAMILIES RIGHT FROM THE START
Many Arizona women experience barriers to accessing prenatal care. For nearly ten years TCAA has operated the Health Start Program with support from the Arizona Department of Health Services.
The Health Start Program works to:
- Increase prenatal care services to pregnant women
- Reduce the incidence of low birth weights in newborns
- Reduce the risk for early childhood diseases
- Improve infant and toddlers' access to important developmental assessments to improve early identification of health needs
- Informing families on the benefits of preventative health care and good nutritional habits
TCAA’s Community Health Workers identify low-income, primarily minority women early in their pregnancy and ensure that they have early and consistent prenatal care by offering home-based, family-centered, and culturally appropriate educational and referral services.
Expecting families or parents of newborns receive services in their homes and at TCAA during their pregnancies and the first two years of the child’s life.
