85% of new mothers experience the “baby blues” after giving birth.

Mood swings, anxiety, and overwhelm are common in the early days, but support and awareness matter.

You’re not alone. Help is always available.

Our Annual Community-Wide Diaper Drive is almost here!

Did you know diapers can cost families over $100 per month, per child, and they aren’t covered by most government assistance programs? From June 1-15, we will be collecting donations of diapers and wipes for local families. With your support, we help provide diapers and wipes to families in our community who need them most.

📍 Drop site locations and ways to get involved here: https://www.healthiermomsandbabies.org/diaper-drive

We loved welcoming 9 students from Towles Intermediate School to Healthier Moms and Babies for the 3rd Annual "Take a Girl to Work Day," hosted by the Women's Fund of Greater Fort Wayne.

Our team shared insights into leadership roles across our organization, with students hearing from our CEO, CDO, Nurse Supervisor, Nurse Home Visitor, and Mental Health Therapist about careers dedicated to supporting women, babies, and families. The girls also honored the most influential women in their lives by creating a meaningful Wall of Fame and learned about ways to give back through volunteer opportunities. Together, they helped bundle nearly 2,000 diapers for families in our community.

Thank you for spending the morning with us. We know your futures are bright!

Happy Nurses Week! 💜

This week, we are especially proud to recognize Brittanie, recipient of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses—an international recognition honoring the compassionate and skillful care nurses provide every day.

“Being a nurse home visitor allows me to develop deep meaningful relationships with families, in ways I was not able to in my other nursing roles. It is such an honor to get to be a part of their story as these families grow. I love helping my clients find their strength and find their voice even when they may be doubting themselves. I love that my role for each family can be different based on what kind of support they are needing. Some days they need a listening ear. Some days they need resources. Some days they need education. Some days they need a cheerleader. I am there for all of it—the highs, the lows, and everything in between—and what an honor it is to be part of it all.”
— Brittanie

Thank you to all of our dedicated nurses for the care, heart, and expertise you bring to families every day. We are grateful for each of you.
