Prenatal Care
Laurel Health Centers offer comprehensive prenatal services, including delivery.

Income-eligible mothers-to-be may enroll in the Healthy Beginnings Plus program. The Healthy Beginnings Plus program provides comprehensive medical care and supportive services.
Pediatric Services
Pediatric Services are provided to children from birth to 18 years of age. Physical examinations to monitor physical, emotional, and social development are offered, as well as screenings to detect anemia and lead levels, the need for vitamins, and timely immunizations. Through the Immunization Outreach Program, Laurel Health Centers provide free immunizations for children ages birth through 36 months on a walk-in basis during specified hours. Under a separate program, the Health Centers offer immunizations free as part of a well child exam. However, there is a fee for the office visit.
Through a new childhood obesity prevention program called Shapedown, youths and their families can learn how to take off weight sensibly and keep it off for life.

Through education and counseling, the program helps support families in creating a more active lifestyle and a healthier diet.
