East Valley Perinatal Network
The East Valley Perinatal Network (EVPN) is the flagship program supporting the primary mission of Women’s Health Innovations of Arizona (WHI). The EVPN was created in 2016 as a community partnership, funded by Dignity Healthcare. Since the development of the EVPN, Women’s Health Innovations of Arizona has trained thousands of professionals and community members, in addition to providing free or low-cost services at the hospital bedside, in-home, in-office, and in the community to hundreds of families.
The EVPN is a grant-funded, donor-driven program financially supporting the uninsured or underinsured. As a Qualified Non-Profit Organization, all donations to Women's Health Innovations of Arizona all donations are put directly toward paying for the variety of services the EVPN team provides to their clients and are tax-deductible. In order to sustain our program, WHI supplements donations from the community by investing our profits into the EVPN to widen the positive impact we make on our community.
The ROSE Program
The ROSE Program (Reach Out, Stay Strong, Essentials for mothers of newborns) is an empirically-validated prevention intervention for postpartum depression. The ROSE Program has been specifically cited in the new U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation regarding the prevention of perinatal depression, as well as in the New York Times.
We are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Michigan State University and Brown University, offering an evidence-based program that has been shown to reduce cases of postpartum depression by half among low-income women in a series of randomized control trials.
​
ROSE is an educational class provided during pregnancy in settings that provide health care to low-income pregnant women. We have received funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH) to help clinics/agencies that serve low-income pregnant women learn and use ROSE as part of their routine care. ROSE is highly structured, easy to learn and can be delivered in both Spanish and English.
