WHAT WE DO
A Prescription for Health, Hope, and Opportunity
Rx Kids is the nation’s first citywide maternal and infant cash prescription program that launched in the city of Flint in January 2024. Rx Kids provides all pregnant moms with no-strings attached cash of $1,500 during pregnancy and $500 each month throughout baby’s first year.
Rx Kids is a beacon of hope, strengthening family economic security and improving health.
