*Rx Kids launched in the City of Pontiac on May 1, 2025. We do not yet have sufficient data to calculate take-up rates in this community. This “Eligible Newborns Enrolled” percentage reflects the number of babies enrolled in Rx Kids divided by the total number of babies born in this community from provisional MDHHS vital records birth certificate data. This is an estimate and may change over time as more babies enroll in Rx Kids (enrollment is possible until 6 months of age) and as more data is received from MDHHS. The percentage may exceed 100% because Rx Kids enrollment starts in pregnancy and extends until 6 months of age.

Pontiac Testimonials

“

“All mothers and young children will be able to take this opportunity and participate in this program, regardless of their income level. Having said that, there are a lot of people in Pontiac who face economic challenges. … We have a lot of low-income moms. We have a lot of single-parent homes. We also have a high infant mortality rate.”

Pontiac Mayor Tim Greimel
