An exciting message from Martin County Healthy Start:
Martin County Healthy Start Coalition is excited to be at the forefront of innovation in maternal healthcare with MOM Mobile: Maternity on the Move. Our vision is every baby born healthy, every mother supported, every father involved. On April 19, 2022 we were 1 of 3 agencies awarded $100,000 at Impact100's Grant Awards Celebration. Yes. You read that right. ONE. HUNDRED. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.
We are working hard to improve birth outcomes and provide access to prenatal care, while ensuring our vision for a healthier Martin County. This award funded our MOM Mobile: Maternity on the Move, a 38-foot mobile medical clinic that will serve pregnant moms in Indiantown, Hobe Sound, Golden Gate and East Stuart. The $100,000 Grant has been pooled together with Martin County Board of County Commissioners’ seed support of $284,214 through ARPA funding.
This mobile unit will be the first of its kind in our area to offer high-quality and culturally competent prenatal care for women with access and transportation barriers. Women will no longer wonder how they will get to their prenatal appointments, because now, we’re going to them.
Words cannot express our deepest gratitude to Impact100 Martin for choosing to make our big dreams a reality.
We as a coalition are also so thankful for our CEO, Samantha Suffich. Samantha dreams big, aims high, and goes above and beyond to support the moms and babies of Martin County.
