Inside of the Baby Boutique.
CARE FOR ALL PEOPLE
BABY BOUTIQUE
“I learned so much about her. She opened up to me about her abusive partner and other traumas and barriers she faced,” said Meredith. “I helped deliver her baby, and because she felt comfortable enough with me, we were able to work with the social work team to help obtain supplies at our Baby Boutique for her baby and transportation to see an oncologist.” The patient was diagnosed with a mild, treatable cancer. “Had we not connected during her labor, it would have been easy for her to slip through the cracks and never see an oncologist,” said Meredith. “Even though I only cared for her during her pregnancy, the other aspects of her care came together because of that trusting connection.” At OneWorld, we believe in whole person care for every person.
Preparing for a newborn goes beyond the doctor’s office. OneWorld’s Baby Boutique provides a variety of essential baby care items for low-income, underserved prenatal patients. Patients earn “Baby Bucks” by attending their prenatal appointments to spend in the Boutique. Over 450 prenatal patients from July- November 2021* visited the Baby Boutique to pick out diapers, onesies, blankets, socks and essential items for their newborn. The Baby Boutique opened in 2013 with the generous support of local donors. With the help of volunteers and donations, OneWorld’s prenatal patients are able to get clothes and supplies for their newborns without the financial burden.

*Due to Covid-19, the Baby Boutique was closed from March 2020-June 2021.
