Are you expecting a baby? Receiving prenatal care is an important step toward supporting a healthy pregnancy and improving infant health outcomes. Access to education, healthcare services, and family support resources can help parents prepare for their growing family and promote healthy full-term births.
Explore the resources below for services, education, and support available to you and your family.
Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
WIC is a nutrition education program that provides healthy supplemental foods and support services for pregnant women, new mothers, breastfeeding mothers, infants, and children up to age five. The program helps families access nutritious foods and promotes healthy development during early childhood.
Immunizations
Summit County Public Health (SCPH) participates in the Vaccines for Children (VFC) Program. Through this program, SCPH charges only a $21 administration fee per eligible vaccine. Children from birth through 18 years of age who are Medicaid-eligible, uninsured, underinsured, or American Indian or Alaska Native may qualify to receive vaccines through the VFC Program.
