Prenatal Care for the Poor:

Is our community positioned to meet the need?

by Rodney Berry & Kathy Strobel

Examining Options

How should our community respond to this challenge? Is there a more effective and compassionate way for us to meet this need? We examine five strategic options:

1. Give the current referral system time to work
2. Re-establish the midwife program with health department
3. Hire an obstetrician at the health department
4. Advocate for policy changes
5. Recruit more obstetricians
