The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services has launched a Women's Service Program to serve pregnant or parenting women.
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services recently launched the Women's Outreach Program, which provides women's health services to pregnant or parenting women in the state, writes Sean Kitchen. keystone.
“[Last] “Last week, the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services announced new Women’s Health Services grants,” said Department of Human Services Secretary Val Arkoosh. “The total amount is approximately $8 million. We are working with organizations that serve women in six different regions of the commonwealth.”
These organizations provide a variety of services including prenatal care and postnatal support, early detection and prevention of health conditions, parenting education, menstrual and reproductive health education and products, and sexually transmitted disease testing and care.
The new program “plans to support women, regardless of background, identity, or income, in an empathetic and culturally informed way, and to help pregnant women and new mothers in particular during this crisis.” “We aim to help them get through this period,” DHS wrote on its website.
Among the organizations that will receive funding through the grant program is Maternity Care Coalition, which serves southeastern Pennsylvania.
