NEW PROGRAM offered by GHCS

"A mother's joy begins when new life is stirring inside...

when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time,

and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.”

Maternal and Child Health

The goal of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program is to support pregnant First Nations women and families with infants and young children, who live on reserve, to reach their fullest developmental and lifetime potential.

Program clients: all pregnant women and new parents, with long term support for those families who require additional services.

Babies 0-6 years of age

An important part of the Maternal Child Health care Program is to find out what are the needs of the community and work from there.
