As soon as you think you might be pregnant, schedule a visit with you obstetrician or healthcare provider. Ask for the Healthy Start prenatal risk screen, which is a simple confidential questionnaire completed by you and your medical provider. If you would like to enroll in Healthy Start after your baby is born, ask your hospital of birth for the Healthy Start infant risk screen questionnaire or ask your pediatrician for a Healthy Start referral.
