Capital Health, greater Mercer County’s Regional Perinatal Center (RPC), has brought together long-established partners, including Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton, to participate in an innovative program to provide addiction recovery services to pregnant women and new mothers. The program, For My Baby and Me, made available through a grant from the New Jersey Department of Health, utilizes the collaborative expertise of the program partners to provide integrated opioid treatment services.
