Description of Services

The collaborative arrangement between HDI OB-GYN and Midwifery Services and Tuscola County Health Department allows the provision of quality prenatal care to women from the Thumb of Michigan.  By increasing the number of women having access to prenatal care, it is intended to assist with the reduction of infant mortality.  This co-venture has allowed each entity to do what it does best. HDI OB-GYN and Midwifery Services provides obstetrical care services by physicians and certified nurse midwives and the Health Department provides health promotion, prevention, and education services.

The primary goal of this partnership is to provide early intervention and improved access to prenatal care and assist with the reduction of the infant mortality rate with a resultant of a healthier birth outcome.
