Voices for Children in Nebraska releases Prenatal Care Issue Brief
During the debate over prenatal care this past legislative session, Voices for Children in Nebraska collected data and research on the importance of prenatal care. With the session over and the struggle to ensure that all soon-to-be Nebraska babies have access to prenatal care on hold during the interim, Voices for Children has complied some of our research into the Prenatal Care Issue Brief.
The 8-page Prenatal Care Issue Brief argues that prenatal care matters for a lifetime by improving life chances for the infant, demonstrates the price that babies pay if they are denied prenatal care, and makes the case that healthy babies is worth the investment of our resources. As a result, Voices for Children recommends that prenatal care be restored for all soon-to-be Nebraska babies and that coverage should be extended to more low-income women.
The report is available to download from the website or you can request a printed copy by contacting Jill Westfall at Voices for Children in Nebraska (402) 597-3100 or jwestfall @ voicesforchildren.com.
Once you get a chance, let us know what you think about the issue brief in the comments below.
