Care Net Pregnancy Center Of Dane County Inc

Maternity home - the elizabeth house is a comprehensive program to help pregnant and newly parenting mothers prepare for a fresh start in life. The elizabeth house provides, free of charge, room and board, case management, clothing, toiletries, diapers, and other necessities of life. Residents participate in educational opportunities, including instruction through a parenting program. In addition, residents work with case management staff to secure training in financial literacy, verbal literacy, job preparedness, household management, and more. Staff and volunteers provide spiritual support and many residents accept and/or grow in their christian faith. Successful graduates have secured a safe, affordable place to live, are stable at work or school, have chosen appropriate care for their child, and have built the resources necessary to thrive. In 2024 we served 32 women and their babies, providing a total of 5,675 days of shelter and support. Collectively, our residents paid off over $16,500 in debt.

Education - we provide middle and high schools with a nurse educator to discuss sexuality and healthy relationships. We had an opportunity to present to 933 students in 2024.

Benevolence fund - the benevolence fund provides financial support to patients and residents both current and past who have a financial need and who meet our criteria for disbursement. An application is submitted and confidentially reviewed by the benevolence committee. Applications are approved and funds are distributed directly to vendors and/or service providers.
