Under the direction of Mayor Lurie's budget initiative, San Francisco's Department of Public Health is undercutting a program that improves maternal and infant health outcomes for underprileged mothers, babies, and families. Public health nurses in the Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health Program connect high-risk expectant mothers with prenatal and postpartum care, mental health and/or substance abuse treatment as needed, programs that help them get stable housing, job training or education, and other programs and services to help them get on their feet and provide stability for their new babies. The program is successful. Madison and her family are just one of countless success stories.
So why did SFDPH remove the heads of this very successful program who have kept its grant funding and provided ongoing training and support for its public health nurses? Mayor Lurie is talking a lot about maternal and child health outcomes, yet his administration is effectively undercutting an evidence-based program that has proven extremely successful.

deeply evil that a country criminalizing abortion is also cutting resources to parents

@danielluriesf Don’t privatize this program that saves lives!! Your Strong Starts program should be incorporating these public health nurses, not trying to replace their work!
