This opportunity from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is through the IMPLICIT (Interventions to Minimize Preterm and Low Birth-Weight Infants Using Continuous Quality-Improvement Techniques) grant program. The IMPLICIT Interconception Care Model is a cutting-edge model that embeds care for moms who might become pregnant again into well-child visits. It’s a preventative care model that incorporates assessments and referrals. Become one of the chosen clinics throughout the state of Minnesota in providing these essential services.
