A Helping Hand for New Moms and Babies

The MercyOne Genesis Foundation has announced a new grant aimed at supporting mothers and their newborns. This funding will help cover medical costs, supplies, and other essential needs for families in the region.

Key Features of the Grant

• Medical Coverage: Funds will be used to cover medical costs for mothers and infants.
• Supplies & Essentials: Provides necessary supplies such as diapers, formula, and medical equipment.
• Free or Discounted Services: Local hospitals will offer lactation counseling, pediatric check‑ups, and parenting workshops at no or reduced cost.

How to Apply

• Eligibility: Parents who qualify can apply through the foundation’s website or by contacting their community health center.
• Application Process: Simple online forms and local health center support ensure accessibility.

Collaborative Approach

The grant encourages collaboration between hospitals, social workers, and non‑profits to create a stronger support network for families. By addressing both medical and social challenges, the program aims to keep babies healthy and mothers confident in their new roles.

Community Impact

Community leaders highlight that this support is vital, especially where health insurance gaps remain wide. The MercyOne Genesis Foundation plans to review the program’s impact after one year and may expand it if results are positive.
