Coordinated Intake & Referral
Community Connect
What is it?
Healthy Start’s Coordinated Intake and Referral Program (CI&R), assists pregnant women, new moms, and families with young children by providing a one-stop entry point for needed services and programs. Our programs are dedicated to ensuring pregnant women and families have access to care, pregnancy and parenting education, child development education, breastfeeding education, and support and care coordination. CI&R works to identify a family’s needs and links them with local programs that can best serve them, creating a referral process that not only streamlines access to services but works to build a larger network of care during early childhood.
