About Us
The Maternal Infant Health Program nurtures health and wellness throughout pregnancy and infancy by partnering families with caring, trusted, and knowledgeable home visitors who serve the goals and needs of each family. Our Vision is that all babies, families, and communities in Michigan are healthy and thriving.
When you enroll in the Maternal Infant Health Program (MIHP), you will work with a nurse and a social worker who will help you connect with your doctor, your health plan, and providers in your community. The nurse and social worker will visit you in your home while you are pregnant and for a period after your child is born. MIHP is a statewide home visiting program in Michigan that serves Medicaid-eligible pregnant women, infants and their families. We hope you will check us out!

Supporting Healthy Families!
Our History
In the 1980s, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) initiated Maternal and Infant Support Services to support pregnancy and infant health in the Medicaid population. From 2004 - 2009, the program was redesigned as a population health model. Participants no longer needed to be screened to determine eligibility - all pregnant and infant Medicaid participants became eligible. From 2009 - 2015, evidence-based interventions and standardized processes were introduced. From 2015 through the present, processes continue to be improved through continuous quality improvement and evaluation.
