Family to Family Support Network
Saint Alphonsus in partnership with the Family to Family Support Network™ has implemented the Unique Families Program™ in the Women’s Services areas across the Saint Alphonsus system.
The program was created by the Family to Family Support Network ™ in 2015. The mission of the program is to transform the healthcare culture and services to be unique family-sensitive system-wide.
The model of care our team is implementing utilizes an integrated, patient-centered approach that empowers healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive, consistent, neutral, and compassionate care to unique families accessing obstetric care throughout pregnancy, delivery, and post-delivery.
Unique Families served include:
- Adoption and surrogacy arrangements
- LGBTQIA+ community
- Socially complex families
- Those struggling with critical issues and needs such as substance use disorder, sexual assault, and domestic violence
Neutral compassionate care is the fundamental value and foundation of the Unique Families Program™.
Unique families are any family who needs extra attention during their prenatal period, planning for their hospital time, and a “warm hand-off" to the community resources after discharge.
Every patient receives intentional and individualized care during and after pregnancy. We are focused on improving the health and well-being of our patients, and supporting the needs of our communities by delivering innovative and personalized care.
What to Expect:
- Improved care experience
- Ability to proactively plan for parenting
- Increased access to needs-based resources
- Coordinated connection to family supports
- Reduced patient and family stress
