EveryStep's Nine2Thrive program was launched in 2019 with a grant from Mid-Iowa Health Foundation and in partnership with Iowa ACEs 360 to support the healthy development of babies during pregnancy. The model bridges primary care and public health services. If a concern is identified during an initial intake assessment at a prenatal visit, the mother is connected to a Nine2Thrive support specialist who coordinates referrals and interventions, and provides targeted follow-up with the mother and the entire family.
