   Welcome to our "one-stop" resource for health care providers.  

This site provides information about preconceptional and prenatal health, patient education materials in multiple languages, and links to other helpful information.

Our goals are to:

• improve preconception and prenatal patient education
• increase the use and awareness of preconception folic acid supplementation  
• facilitate patient education through the development of multilingual patient brochures covering the topics of preconception/prenatal folic acid use, smoking and alcohol use, and genetic screening

This site was funded by the March of Dimes as part of the Pregnancy Foresight Project.  This site is maintained by Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, WA.  Click here to learn more about the project.
