Resources

Perinatal Support Program

We provide additional support and resources during the perinatal period to clients as needed to decrease barriers to care. Clients may receive additional communication in between prenatal visits and support connecting to resources. This program was developed in response to increased needs during the pandemic.

The Midwife Center’s Community Health Worker, Destinee Ellis, meets with clients to help individuals and families access resources and programs that may be beneficial. We connect clients with resources provided by organizations like Nurture PA, Beverly's Babies, WIC, and many more. You can ask about resources at your next visit, or contact Destinee Ellis at d.ellis@midwifecenterorg or 412.321.6880 x 229.

We offer class scholarships for clients who qualify based on income and family size. Please ask for more information at your next appointment. Learn more about our classes.

Language and Interpretation services

The Midwife Center is pleased to offer a variety of services for people who speak different languages. Our client-facing staff is trained in using phone, video, and in-person interpretation services and can also arrange for in-person interpretation for some services. We also have several staff people who speak Spanish and many of our forms are available in Spanish. We are pleased that with partnerships with interpretation services, clients can be seen any time of the week with any TMC provider.
