Healthy Moms/Healthy Kids

Vermilion County Health Department

The mission of our Family Case Management program is to help pregnant women who may be at risk to have healthy children with healthy futures. Our services target pregnant women and infants up to one year of age, or medically high-risk children up to 5 years of age. Healthy Moms/Healthy Kids Case Managers work to connect pregnant women to early prenatal care, and link infants and children to the important health care they need. Spanish translators are available upon request.
If you are income-eligible, we can help you with:

Getting a doctor

HM/HK also oversees Health Works Illinois, a program that ensures wards of the state receive proper healthcare. HM/HK hosts the Targeted Intensive Prenatal Case Management program. Because of our high rate of risk associated with infants born here, Vermilion County is one of 11 sites selected in the state to focus on high risk assessment of pregnant women, and to intensify case management of those who qualify. Additionally, HM/HK provides assistance with the Teen Parent Services program which provides comprehensive services to pregnant or parenting teens under the age of 21 so they have healthier children and complete their education. For information on any of these programs, contact the Maternal and Child Health programs via email at mch@vchd.org, callus at (217) 431-2662, or contact the HM/HK Coordinator
