The Maternal Infant Health Outreach Worker (MIHOW) Program has a powerful yet practical mission - to stimulate the birth and growth of low-cost, parent-to-parent interventions that improve health and child development for low-income families. Using local women as its primary staff, MIHOW is a partnership between the Vanderbilt University Center for Health Services (CHS) and community-based organizations in six states: Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and West Virginia. These local women - mothers who are trusted locally for their energy, integrity, compassion, and commitment to their community - visit pregnant women and families with young children up to three years of age in their home to promote healthy living and self-sufficiency.
