Nurture KC now offers doula services for the moms we serve through Healthy Start, thanks to a grant from the Health Forward Foundation.

And congrats to this sweet family on their new addition!
Did you know Nurture KC advocates to ensure families we serve are represented on issues that impact their health and well-being? Our 2023 legislative priorities are …
Missouri:

• Establish a statewide Fetal Infant Mortality Review (FIMR)
• Protect state vaccine requirements
Kansas:
• Provide access to Self-Measured Blood Pressure (SMBP) monitoring for pregnant and postpartum mothers in KanCare
