Maternal Support Services
The Maternal Support Services Assistance Program for mothers in Okanogan County will be used to reduce the financial and logistical barriers to care facing women and their families by providing various methods of travel assistance and supportive services. Insufficient access to obstetric services increases the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth, which can have lasting consequences on the physical, emotional, financial, and social wellbeing of moms and their babies. By reducing the cost and difficulty of travel, more women, especially those with limited financial resources, will have greater access to the obstetric care necessary to ensure healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.
