Healthy Women, Healthy Futures Oklahoma (HWHF) is an evidence-based practice founded in 2008 that focuses on underserved populations with the highest birthrates and disparities in maternal and child health. HWHF is based in Life Course Theory (LCT), which addresses the importance of early programming to one’s future health and development through both intergenerational programming (a woman’s pre-pregnancy health) and prenatal programming (in utero).

We focus on reducing participants’ risk factors, which diminish health, and improving their protective factors by improving their access to primary care and other health services, and through health education, referral and care coordination.
