An overview of the program will be provided and will outline how you can help achieve the goal of saving at least 200 babies a year by 2024. My Healthy Baby connects pregnant women to family support providers in their own community. A family support provider offers free, personalized guidance and support to the woman during her pregnancy and for at least the first 12 months after her baby’s birth.

This initiative is building a network of services and support to wrap our arms around moms and babies to create healthier outcomes for both. It was established by House Enrolled Act 1007, which was signed into law by Gov. Eric Holcomb in 2019. My Healthy Baby is currently available for pregnant women insured by or eligible for Medicaid in these 22 counties: Allen, Bartholomew, Blackford, Cass, Clark, Crawford, Delaware, Dubois, Fulton, Grant, Henry, Jay, Lake, LaPorte, Madison, Marion, Martin, Miami, Randolph, Shelby, St. Joseph, Wayne.
