Truman Medical Centers is committed to providing a healthy start to the babies in the community.

Truman Medical Centers, in conjunction with US Bank and University Physician Associates is offering "Bright Futures," a program for babies born at TMC Hospital Hill.

This program presents a number of opportunities to give new mothers the knowledge, confidence and support they need during their pregnancy and after the birth of their baby.

New moms and moms-to-be receive a "Bright Futures" passport at pre-registration, prenatal appointment or upon delivery. Each time they participate in a specific activity they receive a stamp in their passport booklet. After collecting the required number of stamps, the booklet can be redeemed for gift cards, vouchers for the TMC Produce Market, or a toddler car seat.

One of the stamp incentives is opening a child's bank account at the US Bank TMC Hospital Hill branch. Parents will receive a certificate for $50 to open the account, with funding provided by US Bank, TMC and University Physician Associates. The purpose of this initiative is to establish a savings account for the children and promote financial literacy among the parents.

The other incentives link families back to TMC through a variety of activities offered through TMC Community Engagement and Women's Health Services.

These activities can include healthy screenings through our Mobile Wellness Unit, participation in educational program session offered at the Bluford Library, attendance at TMC healthy workshops, taking a wellness or fitness class, or the many programs offered through the Women's Clinic to encourage healthy babies.
