The Stork’s Nest is an incentive program designed to increase the number of women and teens who access early and regular prenatal care and well baby care. The Stork’s Nest mission is to help give babies a healthier start in life. The program also strives to encourage self-esteem and parenting skills by assisting parents to “purchase” products by redeeming points earned through healthy behaviors such as smoking cessation, breastfeeding and completion of educational programs.
The Stork’s Nest is located on the fourth floor of the Durham Outpatient Center, Fontenelle Clinic at 50th and Ames and the Community Health Care Center. Hours vary for each location. For more information about the Stork’s Nest, visit the website or contact Kina Watson-DeBerry at 402-210-8868.
