Targeting Change
Tulsa Health Department
The Maternal Child Health Outreach program works to identify and address individual maternal and child health issues, needs and barriers with a focus on improved birth outcomes. Expecting mothers, young children and their families receive assistance from outreach and social workers. Spanish, English and Burmese/Zomi speaking staff are available to provide services at three locations (James O. Goodwin Health Center, Central Regional Health Center and the North Regional Health & Wellness Center) or various community based partnerships. Services include:
* SoonerCare/Medicaid enrollment assistance
* Links to other services both internal at the Tulsa Health Department and external in the community
* Referrals to basic needs (food, shelter and clothing)
* Depression screenings
* Warm hand-offs to mental health treatment, case management and to other appropriate resources as needed
* Educational messages including safe sleep, birth spacing and reproductive life planning
In addition, the team also includes community system development specialists to raise public awareness about infant mortality on a system level and develop and implement prevention strategies to address local causes of infant death in the Tulsa Community.
