OB Care Management

OB Care management services are provided at no cost to pregnant women who have Medicaid or are uninsured. OB Care Managers (OBCM) who are public health nurses and social workers provide services during pregnancy and up to two months postpartum. 

Check out the Pregnancy Care Management brochure for more information. 

Services include assessments, support, education, and referrals for needed services, which are provided in partnership with your doctor. For more information or to ask for this service, talk to your prenatal doctor or contact us at (828) 694-6088. In addition, another agency such as WIC may send a referral, or your doctor may give us information that results in a contact.

High-Risk Pregnancy Home Visits

Public health nurses can help women who are experiencing specific problems during pregnancy. After receiving a referral from the doctor, the public health nurse arranges a home visit to assess, monitor support, and educate women who need extra help during pregnancy.
