LSA’s Maternal Infant Health program provides holistic prenatal and postpartum support to expecting and new mothers. We focus on improving maternal morbidity and mortality rates, enhancing overall maternal outcomes, promoting natural birthing experiences, reducing the occurrence of Cesarean sections, and encouraging successful breastfeeding practices.
The Healthy Moms Project is a 30-hour curriculum- based program delivered weekly in Spanish and English. The curriculum covers prenatal nutrition, symptoms, danger signs, and symptoms, what to avoid, prenatal care, and interpersonal topics. In the journey through labor and birth, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and neonatal care, Healthy Moms empowers expecting and new mothers with the knowledge and support they need to navigate this transformative period confidently. Through this program, we continue to build on the rich legacy of nursing in East Harlem pioneered by the Little Sisters of the Assumption.
