Here, patients can receive support such as social work services, lactation help, mental health care, and other important resources. The clinic’s mission is to reduce the harm caused by substance use in our region and to support healthier pregnancies, births, and postpartum experiences. Our goal is to improve outcomes for mothers, babies, families, and communities.
