Maternal and Child Health Programs

North Country’s MCH program offers integrated healthcare for women and children throughout their life span, addressing physical, psychological and social needs. The multi-disciplinary MCH team consists of board-certified Obstetrician/Gynecologists, Certified Nurse Midwives, Family Nurse Practitioners, a Family Practice Physician, a Pediatrician and a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. In addition, there is oversight by a program coordinator as well as experienced case managers for families enrolled in the Health Start Program (see Outreach Programs). We provide quality healthcare in a supportive, culturally competent, family and community setting.
There are three payment options: Private Insurance plans, AHCCCS or a sliding fee scale for those that do not have insurance or only qualify for Federal Emergency Service only AHCCCS. Patients without insurance that do not qualify for AHCCCS are encouraged to apply for the sliding fee scale as soon as possible. The sliding fee scale for the prenatal care plan ranges from $740 to $2,150. To qualify for the sliding fee scale you must bring proof of your monthly family income, photo identification, and proof of address (such as an AHCCCS denial letter, driver’s license, or utility bill).

Pediatric Care

During your prenatal course you will have the opportunity to meet our pediatrician or family physician to ease your transition from pregnancy to parenting. Our pediatrician, Dr. Nina Souders and several other board-certified family physicians and family nurse practitioners will care for your child from birth throughout life. North Country participates in the Vaccine for Children Program and the Arizona State Immunization Information System, (the state registry) to ensure all children are appropriately immunized by their second birthday. North Country is a Reach Out and Read Program site. Physicians provide children 6 months to 5 years old a new book at every well child check to promote early literacy among families. We also provide hearing screening for children 0-3 years of age and car seat installation education and distribution. Our desire is that every child is born with optimal health, receives quality care and is nurtured lovingly and sensitively as they mature into healthy and productive adults.
