Early Connections Cellphone Program

Are you struggling with transportation to and from appointments? Using a phone or video conferencing can make getting your prenatal care easier.

If you do not have a cellphone, we can help with free smartphones and free data cards. With a smartphone, you can take advantage of telehealth options for your care. Using telehealth, you can stay connected to your health care team and other resources.

Connect with our helpline to speak to a peer recovery support worker about the cellphone program.

Do you need treatment for hepatitis C?

Your obstetric provider can now prescribe hepatitis C treatment medication after you have your baby and once you are no longer breastfeeding. All pregnant people are tested for hepatitis C during their pregnancy and now we can help you get treated easily and quickly.
