Prenatal Care
West Side Community Health Services recognizes that our perinatal users and newborns are at a high risk for poor birth outcomes due to barriers to care such as language, culture, cost, transportation, and lack of awareness.
To address this, we provide comprehensive services to women who are expecting or who are considering becoming pregnant. If you’re a new mom and have questions or concerns, we can help. We provide education, assistance and encouragement as you begin and continue your parenting journey. Services are available at all of our medical sites.
We also offer Prenatal Education Classes in Spanish for women who are enrolled at one of our clinics for prenatal care. These classes are held at our La Clinica site.

One of our programs that supports all young moms but primarily African American and American Indian women is our Healthy Start program. If you are a new mom in need of assistance, we offer our Healthy Start program at our East Side Family Clinic.
