The National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition (HMHB) announces text4baby, a free mobile information service that provides pregnant women and new moms with information to help them care for their health and give their babies the best possible start in life. 

Women who sign up for the service by texting BABY to 511411 (or BEBE for Spanish) will receive free text messages each week, timed to their due date or baby’s date of birth.  The messages focus on a variety of topics critical to maternal and child health, including birth defects prevention, immunization, nutrition, seasonal flu, mental health, oral health, and safe sleep.  Text4baby messages also connect women to prenatal and infant care services and other resources.

Oral health presentations are available for Headstart, grade schools, and other local groups by request.

Dental services are available by appointment only at both locations.

Every Woman Florida: A Preconception Initiative

The Florida Department of Health and the March of Dimes Florida Chapter have developed the Every Woman Florida website which can be accessed at www.everywomanfl.com.  The purpose of this site is to serve as a portal for information for both patients and providers. 
 
All of the materials available on the site are free and are in print-ready format.
Materials include:

• Guidance on integration of preconception health messages by various health care provider types.
• Preconception health checklist and assessment tools for incorporating into the provider risk screening process (evidence-based factors that have demonstrated increase in risk for poor birth outcomes).
• Patient education handouts that address many of the factors identified in the screening tools and provide resources and opportunities for goal-setting to improve patient health status.
• Reproductive health plan sample tools.
• Preconception health resources and links.
  

Please join us in our efforts to help ensure all babies are given the best chance to be born healthy.  We hope you visit our website and review the available materials.
