Abstract
Women in communities with a high rate of adverse birth outcomes benefit from early prenatal care. The Montefiore Medical Center Department of Family Medicine has developed a Low Birth-weight Prevention Program at a community health center, which encourages early prenatal care, surveillance of all pregnancies for existing or emergent risk factors, and case management of high-risk pregnancies by family medicine faculty, residents, and nurse practitioners.
