FCM offers pregnancy testing to childbearing teens and women by appointment. If the test is positive, the pregnant teen or woman is connected to a Public Health Nurse who will serve as her case manager. The Public Health Nurse will assist the mother-to-be in obtaining a variety of services involving the whole family.

Services available to FCM clients include medical coverage (medical card or All Kids); nutrition education and assistance (WIC); mental health; education (school or GED/ childbirth/ breastfeeding/ child development/ special referrals); and others.

For more information or questions, please call us. If we don't have the answer, we know where to find it for you.

Through the Family Case Management Program, educated and trained Case Managers who are Registered Nurses will complete a comprehensive assessment to identify the needs of the family.

All assessments are either conducted in the client's home or at the Wayne County Health Department. Information is readily available, and the Case Manager will provide consultation about other services available in Wayne County.

Case Managers can provide advocacy, referral to a physician, and coordination of other services.
