"PROSPER fills a gap in services by supporting OBs, Psychiatrists and MAT providers to serve our pregnant population better! Clients often don’t feel like they can advocate for themselves and their needs to maintain their treatment. This service will support prescribers with peace of mind and clients will receive more robust care if utilized.”
