DeWine launches Comprehensive Maternal Care

COLUMBUS — The Comprehensive Maternal Care program was launched today by Governor Mike DeWine in partnership with the Ohio Department of Medicaid.

The program will be implemented through patients’ care providers. According to a recent press release, Ohio Medicaid will invest $5 million to reach over 14,000 patients who are pregnant or postpartum.

“Giving all Ohioans the best possible start at life truly begins before a child is even born and that means ensuring the child’s family has access to the resources they need,” said DeWine in a recent press release. “Personalized access to those supports from trusted community partners and high-quality, responsive care that focuses on patients lead to better, healthier outcomes for mothers, babies, and their families.”
