Stork’s Nest

The Stork’s Nest, a cooperative project between the Zeta Phi Beta sorority, March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, is an incentive program to encourage women to see their care provider early and often during pregnancy. Pregnant women are referred to a local Stork’s Nest via their clinic, HMO or other health care facility where they are receiving prenatal care. The care providers of the mothers-to-be will determine if they need assistance. There are no specific requirements that the mothers need to have to be eligible for the program other than a displayed need for assistance. Once enough points are accumulated, mothers-to-be may schedule shopping appoint­ments. Points are earned by obtaining regular prenatal care, educational classes and getting proper immunizations. Mothers may continue shopping at Stork's Nest until their children are twelve months old.
