Franciscan Health's Project Swaddle connects community paramedics and EMTs with OBGYNs, nurses, and social services to provide in-home prenatal and postnatal care for high-risk mothers in rural Indiana counties. Launched in Crawfordsville in 2018, the program has since expanded to Jasper, Newton, and LaPorte counties, areas where the nearest hospital can be 40 or more minutes away and where transportation, food insecurity, and lack of childcare make consistent care difficult to access. Paramedicine clinicians make routine home visits, monitor vitals, explain diagnoses, and connect families with resources ranging from car seats to breastfeeding support, with follow-up visits continuing until the baby reaches one year old. The program accepts self-referrals but also proactively identifies and reaches out to families who may benefit, ensuring that the most vulnerable mothers are not left to navigate high-risk pregnancies alone.

Region of the Week: Manchester Township, Indiana

Manchester Township Fire and Rescue has announced plans to launch a Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) program in June 2026, making it the first agency in Dearborn County to implement such a program. The initiative is designed to bridge the gap between pre-hospital care, emergency departments, and primary care providers by offering proactive, in-home medical support focused on prevention, education, and long-term patient outcomes.

Services will include chronic disease management, post-discharge follow-up visits, medication management, fall risk identification, and connecting patients with community resources like mental health and substance use support. The MIH team will be composed of experienced EMTs, AEMTs, and paramedics, working closely with the Dearborn County Health Department. The program will initially focus on Manchester Township residents as a pilot, with potential expansion throughout Dearborn County in the future.

Write docs 4x faster. Without hating every second.

Nobody became a developer to write documentation. But the docs still need to get written — PRDs, README updates, architecture decisions, onboarding guides.

Wispr Flow lets you talk through it instead. Speak naturally about what the code does, how it works, and why you built it that way. Flow formats everything into clean, professional text you can paste into Notion, Confluence, or GitHub.

The Clinton County Health Department distributed more than $150,000 in Health First Indiana grants last year to four local organizations focused on prevention, early care, and improved access to services. Healthy Communities of Clinton County received the largest share at $67,500, supporting chronic disease prevention, maternal and child health, injury prevention, and a dedicated prenatal coordinator for expectant mothers.

Open Door Health Clinic received over $50,000 to bolster staffing and expand patient access to testing, immunizations, and follow-up care, while Clinton County EMS received $34,367 for its Mobile Integrated Health program to purchase equipment for the safer transport of pregnant patients. Purdue Extension rounded out the recipients with $4,620 to fund community health education programs, including fall prevention and diabetes management classes.
