Three programs, one goal: making sure income never stands between an Arlington mother and the care, supplies and support she and her baby need.
Transportation, telemedicine, monitoring and healthcare partnerships that help women receive consistent prenatal care.
From 2017 to 2020, we funded remote prenatal monitoring for high-risk pregnant women at Virginia Hospital Center's Outpatient Clinic — a program so successful it expanded to all pregnant patients.
300+ women served61% fewer NICU admissions25% fewer C-sectionsIn 2021–22 we piloted remote "Continuing Care Visits" by secure video, pairing each expectant mother with dedicated care nursing throughout her pregnancy at VHC.
Because a healthy start doesn't end at delivery, we've funded newborn checkups for families who couldn't otherwise afford them.
200+ visits fundedCar seats, Pack 'n Plays, breastfeeding supplies, diapers and essential newborn resources.
Launched during the pandemic, the Nursery Project supplies newborn essentials — promoting safe sleep and breastfeeding while distributing car seats, portable cribs, diapers, strollers and baby books to families who need them.
50+ car seats since 2020New moms leave the hospital with the supplies and resources to feed their babies with confidence from day one.
Hospitals can't discharge a newborn without a car seat. For a family already stretched thin, that one requirement can stand between a mother and bringing her baby home.
of mothers surveyed in 2022 struggled to obtain basic baby supplies — including the car seat they're required to have just to leave the hospital.
Partnerships, innovative programs and research aimed at reducing barriers for economically vulnerable mothers.
Our longest-running collaboration has taken ideas from pilot to standard practice — the telemedicine program we funded for high-risk patients proved so effective that VHC expanded it to every expectant mother.
Pilot → hospital-wide practiceWe partner with and fund local organizations that expand maternal care during and after pregnancy, keeping every dollar working in Arlington and Northern Virginia.
From mommy-and-me classes to nursing education, we invest in the knowledge and confidence that help mothers thrive — not just get by.
Every program above exists because someone in Arlington decided a mom they'd never met deserved a healthy start.
