Optimal Pregnancy Outcome Program

The Optimal Pregnancy Outcome Program (OPOP) is a primary prevention program designed to empower pregnant women to make informed healthy lifestyle choices for healthy babies. OPOP was established in 1982 to increase the availability and accessibility of comprehensive prenatal and postpartum services to pregnant and single adolescents. The program has expanded to meet the special needs of any pregnant adolescent, as well as, single or married pregnant women who are abused, developmentally delayed, emotionally impaired or of low income status and those women who may have a high risk pregnancy or other risk factors.

Target audience is pregnant women.

Optimal Pregnancy Outcome Program (OPOP) offers nursing, social work and nutritional services in addition to, not in place of, medical prenatal care by a qualified primary health care provider. OPOP staff assists pregnant women with early entry into the prenatal care system.

OPOP helps a woman understand:
Why prenatal care is so important for you and your baby.
How you can help your baby grow healthy and strong before he or she is born.
How to live a healthy lifestyle for you and your growing baby.
How to adjust to the physical and emotional changes that come with pregnancy.
Where to go for medical care and financial help during your pregnancy and after your baby is born.
