| Maternal and Infant Health Program (MIHP) |
The Maternal and Infant Health Program (MIHP) provides services to Medicaid eligible families with
pregnant women and/or babies through their first year of life. MIHP services are intended to improve
the health outcomes of pregnant women and infants by providing health education, emotional support,
nutrition education, childbirth and parenting education and help with transportation when needed.
A team that includes a public health nurse, social worker and registered dietitian make visits in the
home and/or office setting. Breastfeeding, improving healthy behaviors, coordination of care with
other providers, smoking cessation and referrals for all types of community services are highlights
of this program.

Michigan District Health Department's MIHP Program please call:
