Healthy Beginnings Plus

Mothers who receive early prenatal care  have stronger, healthier babies. Lancaster General Hospital offers the Healthy Beginnings Plus (HBP) program to ensure pregnant women receive the care they need to have a healthy baby. HBP is provided through Medical Assistance. All pregnant women who currently have Medical Assistance are eligible for this free program.  You may also apply for HBP if you do not have insurance, or your insurance does not fully cover your prenatal care. 

As a participant in HBP, you will have a healthcare team dedicated to your individual needs. Your team will include a doctor or midwife, a nurse care coordinator and a social worker. The team will be available to you  until your baby is 8 weeks old.

The following services are available to you when you are enrolled in the HBP program:
  • Free childbirth, breastfeeding and parenting classes
  • One-on-one personal lifestyle education by a registered nurse
  • Emotional support and counseling
  • Assistance with transportation, food and housing
