Who we are Maternal and Family Health Services, Inc. is a non-profit health and human service organization working to improve the health of Pennsylvania women and children by offering programs that prevent disease and promote wellness. Since 1971, MFHS has administered the delivery of essential and preventative services meeting the ever-changing needs of women, children and families through information, education and quality care. The agency oversees a system-wide network of health and nutrition centers in 16 Pennsylvania counties, serving over 110,000 individuals annually through the following core programs: Wic (Women, infants and children) nutrition Program reProductive health cancer screening nurse-family PartnershiP maternity care Our core values commitment to quality in our work and to the people we serve accountability for our actions and our demeanor respect for individuals within our agency and throughout the community excellence in performance and service 58844_MFHS Annual Report_2014_5.indd 3 4/6/15 12:42 PM Dear Friends, Each year, Maternal and Family Health Services impacts the lives of thousands of individuals in need throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. Whether we are delivering vital services in the home, conducting health prevention education in the schools, providing clinical reproductive health services or educating families on the importance of good nutrition, our work is grounded in the best scientific and clinical practices available. Maternal and Family Health Services supports a diverse network of community health providers throughout 16 counties in Northeast Pennsylvania. Collectively, our services have provided a safety net for low-income residents for well over four decades, and our clients and patients are confident that they can trust and count on us for high-quality care. Bette Cox Saxton President & ceo Our network is highly regarded for the services it provides to individuals and families, including: • • • • • • Reproductive health centers that serve women seeking birth control; Programs that provide obesity prevention, nutritional counseling and food vouchers to women and children; Services that help young children get evaluations and care for developmental delays; Home-visiting programs to help new mothers and fathers with parenting skills; Teen-focused pregnancy and disease prevention services and health education; Outreach efforts that find those without health insurance and ensure that they become enrolled in a care plan. In addition, we directly operate 28 Women, Infant and Children (WIC) nutrition centers and four reproductive health centers in high-need areas, as well as operate maternity care in Scranton. Last year we reached and impacted the quality of life of more than 110,000 women, children and families through our network of partners and direct services. The instrumental role that MFHS plays in the lives of families every day often gets obscured by the political discussions of budgets, agendas and caseloads; however, when you meet the people who benefit from our programs and talk to our staff in the field, you can easily relate to the remarkable effect we have on those we are so privileged to serve. maggie r. koeHler chairperson, Board of directors In this ever changing and increasingly challenging environment, one thing remains constant: At Maternal and Family Health Services, we will always remain steadfast to our mission of care. We will do so with the unwavering commitment and dedication of staff, the generous and much appreciated support of organizations and individuals in the community and the fulfillment we derive in knowing that we have so positively impacted — and will continue to impact — the lives of so many in need. Sincerely, 2014 – 2015 Board of directors The MFHS Board of Directors is the governing body responsible for the organization’s health and sustainability. These community-minded individuals volunteer their time to ensure the ongoing success of MFHS. As allies in the pursuit of the MFHS mission, they each provide unique talents and expertise to offer guidance, direction and vision to shape the future of Maternal and Family Health Services. 58844_MFHS Annual Report_2014_5.indd 4 Board officers Maggie Koehler, Chairperson Carol Douds, Vice Chairperson Kathleen Dunsmuir, Secretary Debbie Eastwood, Treasurer Board memBers Rebecca Binder Gina Bortz Kenneth Donlavage Kathy Finsterbusch Rodrigo Gereda Elizabeth Hattersley Phyllis Mundy Dr. Jill Murray Dennis Phelps George Rable James Schilling Judy Schweich Gary Taroli, Esquire ex officio memBers agency leadershiP solicitor Ann Russin Executive Vice President Patrice Persico Philip Gelso, Esquire Bette Cox Saxton President & CEO Richard Mackey Chief Financial Officer Marc Rabin, M.D. Medical Director 4/6/15 12:42 PM Women, infants and children (Wic) nutrition Program We provide the WIC Nutrition Program to help high-risk women in 16 Pennsylvania counties build good nutrition habits for themselves and their families. Through nutrition counseling, vouchers for healthy foods and breastfeeding support, we are fostering healthier pregnancies, healthier birth outcomes, better growth and development of young children, and a reduction in childhood obesity. 56,995 women, infants, and children served each month through our 31 WIC centers in 16 Pennsylvania Counties. We serve nearly 25% of all babies and children on WIC in Pennsylvania, improving their diets, cognitive development, and anemia rates. 23% 478 stores in our service area generate $44.7 million in annual gross sales from redeemed WIC checks. WIC is a program for pregnant and breastfeeding women, infants and children up to age 5. PA WIC is funded by USDA. WIC is an equal opportunity provider. of Pennsylvania children under age 6 are from loW- income Working families, leaving many With insecure access to healthcare and nutritionally adequate food. Breastfeeding Peer counseling We are improving rates of breastfeeding by pairing new moms with other, local moms who have successfully breastfed for at least six months. The education, support, and role-modeling our peer counselors provide help new moms and their babies access the many health, nutritional, and emotional benefits of breastfeeding — and, in 2014, have helped MFHS WIC achieve the highest rates of breastfeeding in our history. 56.8% of new mothers enrolled in MFHS WIC breastfed for an average of 14.3 weeks in 2014. 58844_MFHS Annual Report_2014_5.indd 5 4/6/15 12:42 PM Pediatrics Our Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostics and Treatment (EPSDT) Program puts health coverage within reach for many working families. Through EPSDT and our partnership with Dr. Linda Thomas and The Wright Center for Primary Care, we’re improving health of low-income, Scranton-area children and adolescents with preventative and comprehensive pediatric care. 101 children received 205 well-visits healthy haBits together We’re helping at-risk children and teens build a lifetime of healthy nutrition habits with one of our newest programs, Healthy Habits Together. Thanks to start-up funding from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Foundation and continued support from The Robert Y. Moffat Family Trust, this program provides Scranton-area children and teens with one-onone comprehensive nutrition counseling and a support-system for making informed food choices and increasing physical activity — ultimately, helping a generation of children and teens avoid obesity-related health complications and lead healthy lives. maternity care Access to early and adequate prenatal care is vital to safeguarding the health of both mother and baby.

That’s why we offer accessible, confidential family planning and related, preventive care across 15 Pennsylvania counties. Through Title X of Public Health Service Act, we prioritize the needs of low-income and uninsured women, men and teens by supporting health centers in medically underserved communities, offering free care to those whose incomes fall below the federal poverty level, and offering low-cost care to those whose incomes fall below 250% of the poverty level. Early detection is key to surviving breast and cervical cancer. We provide preventative cancer screenings to detect breast and cervical cancer at its earliest stages, when treatment options are less costly and chances for survival are greatest. Through vital public and private funding sources, including The HealthyWoman Program and the Northeast and Twin Tiers Affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we leverage resources to ensure all Northeastern Pennsylvania women can access the cancer screening care they need. 22,283 women in 15 counties were counseled on their contraception options, avoiding 5,570 unplanned pregnancies. 3,194 women screened with Pap and HPV tests, avoiding multiple cases of cervical cancer. 1,095 underinsured women received 912 mammograms and 260 ultrasounds After 159 breast biopsies, 26 women with breast cancer were diagnosed and referred for treatment. 24,398 chamPions for coverage Over $40 MillioN saved in maternal and birthrelated costs and public expenditures through MFHS Reproductive Health. In 2014, we began enrolling women, men and families in healthcare coverage, helping more people than ever access affordable, quality care through the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.

By publishing fun, reliable teen health articles with a connection to over two hundred Title X-funded health centers, we’re reducing unplanned teen pregnancy across the Commonwealth by helping teens separate teen pregnancy fact from fiction and make informed, healthy choices about their futures. More than 78,000 teens logged onto SafeTeens.org in 2014, getting connected to reliable health information and health centers.

With funding from the Pennsylvania office of Child Development and Early learning, we partner at-risk moms, many of whom are teens, with visiting nurses who provide health, parenting, and goalsetting education. Along the way, we’re alleviating the risks associated with unplanned and teen pregnancy, helping young, local moms stay in school, achieve economic selfsufficiency, and raise healthy, happy babies. 304 at risk moms enrolled in 2014, each making on average of $9,000 a year at enrollment and 83% more likely to find work by their child’s fourth birthday. 245 babies enrolled in 2014, each 48% less likely to experience abuse or neglect, 50% less likely to have language delays, and 67% less likely to have behavioral and intellectual problems. 58844_MFHS Annual Report_2014_5.indd 8 4/6/15 12:42 PM Year in review 2014 #letsmovemfhs: hashtagging for health MFHS launched the #LetsMoveMFHS contest with staff to encourage healthy habits and piggyback on First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” initiative.
