Fort Pierce - Friday May 26, 2023: This week on In Focus with IRSC Public Media, we're going to learn about health care for expectant mothers with Taylor Farnsworth and Janay Brown of the Indian River County Healthy Start Coalition. Taylor is the Director of External Engagement, and Janay is a Community Liaison.
Their mission is to decrease infant mortality, and they do that by providing a variety of specialized care, including education, lactation services, and in person "Doula" advice, information, emotional support, and physical comfort to mothers before, during, and just after childbirth.
They’ll talk about all those services, as well as the importance of involving fathers in the process as well.
