Bi-National Health Week Community Baby Shower Celebration

Summary

---

In celebration of Bi-National health week, Project Concern International (PCI) and its partners held a community baby shower for the pregnant women and children enrolled in the California Border Healthy Start (CBHS) project. On October 15, over 100 pregnant women, mostly enrolled in the program, and their families gathered at the Malcolm X Library for this free event with lunch and celebration activities.

The CBHS employs Patient Navigators, or promotoras, to provide the outreach and case management of pregnant women. They provide continuity of care for both the mother and child from pregnancy up to two years after delivery. The project also offers support groups for mental depression during pregnancy and after delivery as well as health education for mothers. As part of these efforts, trained Doulas "birth assistants" are available for those pregnant women who are enrolled in the program.
