Maternal and Infant Services FAQ's

Who qualifies for the M&I services?

Any woman who is pregnant and lives in Geary County can enroll in M&I services.

Will I need a pregnancy test from the Health Department before enrolling?

A pregnancy test is taken to determine how many weeks you are in your pregnancy. You will receive a copy of this pregnancy test to take to WIC and SRS.

How can I enroll in services?

Pregnancy tests are performed during walk-in hours, and you do not need an appointment for a pregnancy test. If your pregnancy test is positive, a nurse consultant will talk to you about enrolling into M&I.

What is Prenatal Care Group?

Prenatal Care Group is a fun way to receive information about pregnancy and visit your nurse consultant with a group of women that you meet during the sessions. You can become friends with other expectant moms, ask your nurse questions, and have snacks and crafts. You will receive a phone call or mailed invitation to join Prenatal Care Group when you enroll in M&I.
