BORN READY PARTNERSHIP Metro Detroit

The Born Ready Partnership is an opportunity for early childhood home visitors to partner with community residents to achieve and support healthy birth outcomes creating a clinical-community medical neighborhood. Pregnant women and infants served by the Western Wayne Health Center in Inkster will be the focus of the Partnership. The Partnership will test how effective the on-site placement of evidenced-based home visiting program models in the Health Center can help improve maternal and infant health outcomes. The test will inform us of the effectiveness of on-site placement with increasing referrals to and enrollment in home visiting programs while achieving optimal clinic health measures for pregnant women and infants. It may also serve as an ongoing model supporting patient-centered primary care for this population served in the Western Wayne Health Clinics.
