Prenatal care website launched in Allen County

McMillen Health and Healthier Moms and Babies have used a $50,000 grant from Parkview Health to address infant mortality.

They created Babies Love, a mobile health project designed to increase access to prenatal care and other resources for pregnant women – particularly those in the 46806 ZIP code.

That area had the highest infant mortality rate, 15.3 per 1,000 live births, among the Indiana ZIP codes that had at least 20 infant deaths from 2009 to 2013, according to the Indiana State Department of Health.

The agencies will celebrate the launch of Babies Love with an informational event Monday at McMillen Health. The public is welcome.
