MiSN

What MiSN does

MiSN (Maternal Infant Services Network) is a 501(c)-style community-based nonprofit perinatal network founded in 1990 and headquartered in Newburgh, New York. The organization operates across five Hudson Valley counties (Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, and Ulster), delivering free services to expectant mothers, women of reproductive age, families, adolescents, and uninsured or underinsured individuals. In 2023, MiSN supported more than 2,000 women and families through its programs.

MiSN's service portfolio is organized around six core program areas: Health Insurance Navigation, Community Health Advocate Services, CAPP Youth Services, Women's Wellness (PICHC), Perinatal and Lactation Services, and Healthy Families NY Putnam County. These are delivered through county offices, in-person home visits, Baby Cafés (breastfeeding support), community events, and virtual channels. Underlying program models rely on validated, evidence-based curricula such as Healthy Families America-accredited home visiting, Teen Outreach Program, Project AIM, Making Proud Choices, and The Basics parenting curriculum, supplemented by partnerships with the NYS Department of Health (PICHC funding), Community Services Society of New York (CHA network), Vitamin Angels, and Cribs for Kids.

MiSN does not charge clients for services and has no disclosed pricing model. Revenue is generated through government grants (predominantly the NYS DOH PICHC initiative), charitable donations processed via Zeffy, and program-aligned partnerships; a $0-amount Fidelis Care relationship was recorded in December 2023. There is no proprietary technology platform, no patents or trademarks, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no disclosed paid customer base; the organization's value to its constituents is delivered through community health workers, certified educators, and credentialed Doulas rather than software.
