The Perinatal Infant Community Health Collaborative (PICHC) is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of birthing people and their families by addressing and reducing racial, ethnic, and economic disparities that contribute to poor health outcomes.
PICHC ensures that women and all birthing people receive essential care, including prenatal services, healthcare support, and connections to community resources. PICHC workers offer crucial services such as referrals, care coordination, follow-ups, advocacy, and service management. Additional support includes guidance during pregnancy, assistance with the postpartum transition from hospital to home, breastfeeding support, and education on infant care.
The Perinatal Infant Community Health Collaborative targets the Bronx, and our fully bilingual PICHC workers are community residents.
