Guthrie offering mobile maternity services to women in need
CONKLIN, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Moms and moms to be can receive vital maternity services thanks to a new initiative from Guthrie.
On Thursday, Guthrie launched its Maternity Oasis Mobile, or MOM, Unit.
The doctor's office on wheels will provide women in undeserved rural communities around the Southern Tier with access to essential health care.
It is staffed with midwives, nurses, dieticians, and other medical professionals. Services provided on the MOM Unit include prenatal and postpartum care, ultrasounds, exams, STD screening, mental health counseling, and more.
United Way Health Initiatives Manager Tanisha Arroyo says accessible maternity services are much needed in Broome County.
'Having the mobile unit on the Northside of Binghamton at the Lee Barta Community Center will provide essential women's health services to residents that may not otherwise have access to those services. So, we are very excited to be a host site,' said Arroyo.
The project was made possible by a $3 million grant from the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation.
The MOM Unit is making its first stop on March 17 at the United Way of Broome County in Binghamton. Additional visits are planned across the Southern Tier in the upcoming weeks.
