Promoting maternal-child wellness in the workplace.
With increased numbers of women in the workplace, corporations are recognizing the need for maternal-child wellness programming. Prenatal risk assessment and screenings with follow up educational programs can reduce infant mortality and morbidity, thereby reducing dollars spent by industry for health care of women and children. Occupational health nurses can serve as change agents in implementing prenatal, postnatal, and family oriented wellness programs in the workplace.
