The Perinatal Navigator program at Union Hospital works with many new patients and counsels them on the benefits of breastfeeding and safe sleep practices. Through this process, the Navigators work with staff and implement screening
practices to identify patients who qualify for additional support from the Navigators.
The process then turns to a one-on-one approach where Navigators work with identified patients to enroll them in the Perinatal Navigators Resources, Education, and Support Program (RES). Enrolling in the RES
program creates a relationship between the patient and the Navigator that connects the at-risk patient with any available resources, more intense one-on-one education, and connects them with support available through Union
Health or in the community.
