Healthy Moms and Babes was founded in 1986 when a group of dedicated women came together guided by their research and a shared committment to addressing the unmet health needs of mothers and babies in Greater Cincinnati.  With their findings, they began servicing high risk neighborhoods in Walnut  Hills and lower Price Hill. These women dedicated their time, heart and passion to improve the health and well being of low income women by educating them on having healthy and successful pregnancies, birthing healthy babies and increasing their ability to become loving parents. 

Through pregnancy testing and assessments by way of a mobile unit  Healthy Moms and Babes began servicing and working in neighborhoods on their mission to educate moms and provided educational and informational resources such as:
*Pregnancy testing
*Assessments, information and referrals
*Education(pre-natal, child birth, fetal development)
*First year of life, child growth and development
*Adolescent and Health Education
*Women's Health Education

As Healthy Moms & Babes continued to grow, so did its impact throughout Greater Cincinnati. Beginning with a staff of just three in 1986, the organization expanded its reach through innovative programs designed to improve maternal and infant health outcomes. Key initiatives such as the Parent Partner Grant, Ohio Infant Mortality Reduction Initiative (OIMRI), Help Me Grow, and the Pregnancy Pathway Program provided critical home visiting services, education, mentoring, transportation assistance, and support for high-risk mothers and families. Through strategic growth, community partnerships, and a commitment to reducing infant mortality and improving birth outcomes, Healthy Moms & Babes expanded services into additional neighborhoods and communities, helping more families access the care, resources, and support needed to thrive.
