Healthy Start​

Tulsa County moms, babies and dads deserve the best. Healthy Start provides free and confidential clinic triage and home visitation case management services for expecting and postpartum moms and their babies up to age 18 months. The goal of the program is to improve birth outcomes and reduce infant mortality with an emphasis on those populations at highest risk.

Healthy Start helps families with:

• Prenatal and postpartum care
• Fatherhood program
• Access to health services for baby and childhood immunizations
• WIC and health insurance referrals
• Parenting skills
• Food, clothing, baby needs and housing assistance
• Links to local resources for jobs, child care, counseling and education

The program is community based, using case management as the core service and a community consortia advisory structure to achieve improved birth outcomes and a strengthened community infrastructure. Healthy Start seeks to preserve continuity of care for women, children and families throughout their child-bearing years.

Clients must be pregnant and reside in one of the following 11 Tulsa County ZIP codes: 74011, 74012, 74063, 74106, 74110, 74115, 74116, 74117, 74126, 74127 or 74130 to be eligible for the program.
