Oakland Family Services launches Maternal Infant Health Program
About MIHP
The Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP) nurtures health and wellness throughout pregnancy and infancy by partnering families with caring, trusted, and knowledgeable home visitors who serve the goals and needs of each family. Our Vision is that all babies, families, and communities in Michigan are healthy and thriving.
GET SUPPORT FROM MIHP, AT NO COST TO YOU
MIHP is free for Medicaid eligible pregnant women, infants up to age one and their families. MIHP providers help pregnant women and families with newborns understand how to stay healthy. All pregnant women, infants and their families enrolled in MIHP have care plans developed just for them. When you enroll in MIHP, a team of nurses, social workers, nutrition professionals, lactation consultants, and infant mental health specialists will work with you, your doctor, your health plan, and providers in your community to make sure you receive services to keep you and your baby healthy.
