NURTURE Model of Care

This model of care is currently available at our Cherokee Mills Health Center only.

Cherokee Health System (CHS) has embraced a health care delivery model which integrates the care of an OB/GYN, a pediatrician, and a behavioral health care provider for the new mother and her baby during and following pregnancy. Mothers who bring their babies in for check-ups will receive the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Screening at every visit for the first six months. Mothers can also be visited by their OB/GYN in the pediatric office and can consult with a mental health provider all in one visit. Any needed follow-up can, of course, extend beyond six months. Any depression screening core of 10 or higher can be result in immediate help with professional on site.

Mothers who bring their babies to CHS for their appointments in the first six months after their child’s birth will be eligible to be enrolled in this program, regardless of their physical or mental health status. For questions or concerns, please call (865) 544-0406.
