Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenting Support
The MaIH Center
The Maternal and Infant Health (MaIH) Center
Care Close to Home
The MaIH Center, owned and operated by Altruism Media, Inc. (DBA Altruism, Inc.), helps pregnant individuals receive the level of care that supports your health, your emotions, and needs you may have at home. This means we provide exams to help you and baby stay healthy, while also providing support for other needs like food, diapers, clothing, car seats, utilities, among other things.
The MaIH Center will pair you with a doula who will help you with birth planning, provide educationabout your pregnancy, and help you prepare for your new baby. The doula will also be there to help you speak to doctors and nurses during labor and delivery. Our midwives provide prenatal exams to support a healthy pregnancy and delivery. We’ll still be here after you give birth to make sure you and your baby have what you need.
The best part of all, the services we provide are free to those who qualify. This includes Medicaid-covered pregnancies, and individuals without insurance. All services are provided by appointment only. The MaIH Center is centrally located in Lexington, Missouri
– 721 S. Business Highway 13.

Support & Comfort
What is a doula?
The goal of a doula is to help parents have a positive and healthy birth. Doulas provide emotional support. They help you understand what to expect during pregnancy, labor, and delivery — and they help you plan. Doulas help you talk with your nurses and doctors.
Doulas also provide classes to help with breastfeeding, stress management, breathing exercises to help during labor, while also providing comfort at bedside when your baby is about to come.
