MHC
Incentive Program
The
Maternal Health Clinic provides maternity care to women
of the Wabash Valley on a sliding fee scale basis. The
multidisciplinary team includes nurses, physician
assistant, nurse midwives, social worker, care
coordinator, substance abuse counselor, nutritionist,
family medicine resident physicians, and family medicine
and obstetric faculty. Quality care is provided through
direct patient assessment, counseling, and teaching.
As
an incentive to foster healthy behaviors, we have
developed a program in which our patients can earn
points when those behaviors are noted. With these
points they will be awarded items from The Helping
Hands, a nonprofit organization designed to provide
quality clothing and household items to people in West
Terre Haute and the surrounding communities.
Our request to the community is two-fold. We ask that
you remember The Helping Hands organization when you
have gently used items that you would like to donate to
a charitable group. They are located at 960 West
National Avenue, West Terre Haute, IN (next to the IGA).
There is a possibility that we could help transport
items to their location. Please call the Maternal
Health Clinic at 812-238-7301.
Also, we would like to include new items for our
patients when specific healthy behaviors are
demonstrated. We are asking for monetary donations
directly to the Maternal Health Clinic for items such as
cribs, car seats, or diapers. A program that provided
families with cribs through the State of Indiana has
just recently lost its funding. With a donation of $200,
a crib, mattress, and car seat could be purchased for a
family in need. Their good works would be rewarded by
your gift. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.
Please open your hearts to these families by
contributing to their futures. Thank you for your
consideration and generosity.
