MCH program could be in place by October

By KATE WOLFORD Staff Writer

(EDITOR’S NOTE: The following story is the final part of a twopart series on the Kosciusko County Health Department s proposed Maternal Child Health Care program.) Getting health care during pregnancy is good for mothers and babies and probably cheaper for society in the long run. In Kosciusko County, five percent or more of the mothers giving birth do so without receiving standard prenatal care. That statistic qualifies this county for Maternal Child Health care funds. Jon Cupp, chief sanitarian of the health department, says the department plans to have a program in place by October of this year. He began to set the project wheels in motion at a January meeting of the county council, by explaining MCH and the need for it in this area. The project, will, Cupp says, take a number of steps. The process needs to be smooth, as he believes any glitches would mean the program won’t go through. Finding staff is vital to the MCH program. While the health

DEAR DIANE: For the past three years, I’ve worked very closely with a man. I’ve fallen in love with him. He was my boss. During this time, he went through a divorce, but has no children. Although I took a special interest in him, I was very reserved with my affection. We began to do everything together and became very close. He opened up to me and told me about his marriage. He was very hurt by the breakup and was afraid of more hurt. As a result, he was very private as far as his feelings were concerned. He told people he never wanted to marry again, but I knew deep down, he could love again and hoped it would be me. However, last month, he moved to another state. What I need to know is, what do you think of this relationship? Should I pursue this, or let it go? LOVESICK DEAR LOVESICK: I don’t think there is much hope for romance here. I think this man was hurting and needed someone to talk to. You happened to be there with a shoulder for him to cry on. However, while I believe he cared for you, it was not what you were hoping for. Whenever a marriage breaks up, people need time to sort things out before they can possibly become involved again. They need to set new priorities and make sense of what happened. This is what your friend is doing. Do yourself and him a favor. Let go of your thoughts of romance. This is a friendship, period. DEAR FLA. REVEREND: How dare you tell that poor tormented woman she was at fault for what happened to her child? And who are you to point fingers as far as sin is concern-

department will actually run and coordinate the program, it is hoped the caseworker they find will be affiliated with a group that can provide the “extras” needed by low-income pregnant women. These extras could mean blankets or other supplies that the health department cannot supply. In addition, Cupp hopes to establish a network of affiliation with area hospitals. A caseworker could also be available for several hours a week at a hospital, in order to coordinate patient care with doctors. As Kosciusko County had been receiving MCH care through the Elkhart County Health Department Explaining the importance of prenatal care to participating mothers-to-be will be an important program goal. Finding ways for clients to pay for prenatal care is also a service MCH will likely provide. The ultimate goal, however, is to increase the number of mothers receiving good and regular prenatal care. Doing so not only benefits there health but can reduce the infant mortality rate.

ed? Didn’t Jesus himself warn against casting the first stone, and judge not, lest ye be judged? Wasn’t it also Jesus who warned us not to be concerned with the splinter in our brother’s eye, but to pay attention to the log in our own eyes? It is people of the cloth like you who give religion a terrible name ad actually turn people away. You are nothing more than rabid fanatics with psychological hangups of your own. I would no more pass your letter along than I would commit murder! Perhaps it is you who should examine your conscience.
