McMillen Health Offers Healthy Tomorrow App to Women with Opioid Use Disorder

McMillen Health is reaching out to organizations that serve pregnant or recently pregnant women with opioid use disorder (OUD) and their babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in Allen County with a new tool offering a Healthy Tomorrow. Indiana’s rate of NAS is about 30% higher than the national average: 15.7% of all Indiana babies test positive for opioids and opioid use rates continue to skyrocket. Agencies can contact McMillen Health for promotional kits to share the recently launched Healthy Tomorrow app in an effort to reach 300 Allen County women who will help pilot the tool. McMillen’s Healthy Tomorrow app fills a vital education gap for women and children with OUD and NAS.

“Healthy Tomorrow was born from the stories of women with OUD who could not find reliable, quality health information on pregnancy, infancy and OUD and its far-ranging implications,” says Nicole Fairchild, Executive Director of McMillen Health, the oldest independently operated health education center in the US. “Healthy Tomorrow delivers friendly, easily-digestible health education in short video format for women and their infants, babies and young children. Agencies who serve Allen County women with this diagnosis can help us reach them with this tool.” Read the full press release here.
