Perinatal Health Partnership
The Perinatal Health Partnership (PHP) Program provides home visiting services during pregnancy and up to the
infant’s first birthday following delivery. Pregnant women with high-risk conditions or have identified risk factors
that put them at risk for poor pregnancy outcomes, will be targeted for home visiting services and interventions but
enrollment can occur after delivery.
PHP provides additional monitoring between provider appointments that will increase the opportunity to identify
warning signs, complications, and problems earlier and refer to provider for further assessment and intervention
when indicated.
