Maternal and Infant Health Program

Put your trust in the Marquette County Health Department's Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP).  For over 20 years the Health Department has been providing Public Health Nursing visits to moms and babies.  This program allows our staff to continue to visit the family with the focus on the infant through the first year of life.

MIHP provides these services to pregnant women with special needs who are on Medicaid.  Home visits for support, teaching and referral are available to help insure healthy mothers and babies.

Features

• Public Health Nurse home visits
• Social Work home visits
• Dietician home and clinic visits
• Travel coordination 
• Prenatal education, including referral to childbirth education classes 
• Home visits after the baby's birth

The focus of these programs is the prevention and control of maternal and infant health, and psycho-social  problems through education, and through referral to appropriate support agencies.  The Maternal Infant Health Program is certified through the Michigan Department of Community Health.
