Perinatal Fast-Track Program in Grand Traverse Region

Check out what Emily Llore, MPH presented to the MOHC.  Emily is the Coalition Coordinator of the Grand Traverse Region, one of nine regional coalitions in Michigan.  From her presentation:

  • At 8 clinic locations, pregnant patients will be given priority in scheduling and be seen within 30 days of call.  Initial appointments will include
    an exam and development of a treatment plan.
  • At 3 clinic locations, pregnant patient must be seen the same week they call or their doctor calls.  Initial appointments will include an exam and development of a treatment plan.  This protocol guarantees pregnant women will have access to a dentist/dental provider within 1 week of calling. The provider will determine what needs to be done, how urgent it is (mother and baby’s health) in accordance with perinatal dental care standards.
