- $25 gift card for a prenatal care visit within your first three months of pregnancy, or for receiving postpartum care with 12 weeks after giving birth
- Health care provider for you or your baby if you don’t have one yet
- Resources for things like diapers and baby supplies, breastfeeding support, transportation, and more
- Connected with supports and resources in your community
- Referrals to other care management programs to support behavioral health, medical, and social health needs
- Screenings for mental health and perinatal mood disorders
How to Sign Up
Submit this form to sign up for Steward’s Healthy Beginnings Program and you will be contacted within two business days. Be sure to call your primary care doctor to let them know you’re pregnant. Also, schedule a prenatal care visit with your obstetrician-gynecologist (OB/GYN) doctor or nurse-midwife (CNM) now. You do NOT need a referral for this.

Hello! My name is Holly, but if you’ve ever worked with me as your Maternal Care Coordinator, you know that I don’t care what you call me, as long as you call me if you need something! I have been a Maternal Care Coordinator with Steward Health Choice since August of 2020. I love connecting our members with resources and supports to get off to the best possible start with their baby. I am a Certified Lactation Counselor and am passionate about breastfeeding education and support. The members I work with make this the most rewarding job ever!

Hi! My name is Natalie Pagan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked with families in various settings. I found my passion working in the maternal newborn field though my previous role as a resource coordinator for WIC. I enjoy being a source of support for my members and providing them with referrals, resources, and the care they need to have a healthy beginning with their babies. Most importantly, I love to be a part of the journey with my members from pregnancy to postpartum.
