Vermilion County IL Health Department

The mission of our Family Case Management (Healthy Moms/Healthy Kids) 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
• Transportation to medical care
• Home visits by a nurse
