Survey for Expecting and New Mothers in Northeastern New Mexico

Who Wants to Know?
The northeast region of New Mexico (Taos, Colfax, Union, Mora and Harding counties) receives grants to improve maternal health outcomes in the region.
 
We have developed a Network and called ourselves ROAMS (Rural OB Access & Maternal Services).  The mission of ROAMS is to make it easier for new and expectant mothers in northeastern New Mexico to get the medical and social service care they need close to home. We want to hear from you, on how maternal services in the region can be improved. This survey is anonymous.
What is the ROAMS Network Doing?
· Free access to Lactation Consultants for all new mothers who reside in Taos, Colfax, Union, Mora and Harding counties.
· Free access to Family Navigators for all new mothers who reside in Taos, Colfax, Union, Mora and Harding counties. The Family Navigator assists mothers in enrolling and participating in social service programs that will help mom and baby thrive. Family Navigators will help new mothers: sign up for benefits, enroll in home visiting, attend behavioral health support services, and provide assistance with transportation and childcare so that new mothers can access the support services that will help mother and baby.
· Telehealth services for pre and post-natal mothers:
- Tele-OB from Union County General Health Clinic in Clayton with an OB in Raton at Miners Colfax Medical Center.
- Tele-MFM from Women’s Health Institute (WHI) in Taos and Miners Colfax Medical Center in Raton with Pinon Perinatal, a high-risk Maternal Fetal Medicine in Santa Fe.
- Home telehealth kits for: self-monitoring of Blood Pressure and Diabetes glucose levels, Educational Pathways via texting, and Home to OB clinic telehealth visits.
· Purchased new Ultrasounds and updated OB equipment for Miners Colfax Medical Center in Raton and Holy Cross Hospital and Women’s Health Institute in Taos.
