| مستخلص: | The State of Hawai'i ranks third in the nation for homelessness. Homelessness disproportionately affects the health care of pregnant mothers and their children. These homeless persons are at risk for malnutrition, physical and psychological trauma, injuries and chronic illnesses, and have difficulty accessing healthcare and social services. With the generous support of a Waiwai Ola grant from AlohaCare, a non-profit health plan in Hawai'i, the Maternal-Fetal Medicine physicians at the University Health Partners of Hawai'i created a pilot program with a midwife and medical assistant to provide prenatal health care and social services for homeless mothers on the island of O'ahu. This innovative project has given the midwife and medical assistant opportunities to perform needs assessments for homeless mothers and pilot new mobile health devices out in the field that can be optimized for delivering prenatal and postpartum health care for the most vulnerable populations of homeless mothers and their newborns.
