RMC Parents as Teachers Partners with Dubuque County VNA to Offer Free Prenatal Vitamins

June 2, 2026 in News, OB, Parent Education & Support

Regional Medical Center (RMC) Parents as Teachers (PAT) is proud to be named the official Delaware County hub for the Dubuque County Visiting Nurse Association’s (VNA) free prenatal vitamin program. This initiative aims to remove barriers to essential prenatal care and support the long-term health of families throughout the community.

The program provides prenatal vitamins to anyone of childbearing age, completely free of charge.

To ensure the program is accessible to everyone who needs it, the screening process is entirely confidential. No personal information, such as name, age, or address, is required. Recipients will only be asked to identify which category they fall into: currently pregnant, within one year of postpartum, or childbearing age.

“We are incredibly excited to bring this vital resource to Delaware County,” said Kristin Drabek, RMC PAT Director. “Proper nutrition before, during, and after pregnancy is foundational to a child’s development and a parent’s well-being. By removing financial barriers, we hope to make it easy for individuals in our community to get the nutritional support they deserve.”

How to Access the Program:

Vitamins can be picked up through two convenient methods, with no appointments necessary:

  1. Walk-Ins Welcome: Individuals can visit the RMC East Office Building (613 W Main St. Manchester, IA), Monday-Friday between 8AM-4:30PM.
  2. In-Clinic Delivery: If a patient is already at Regional Family Health (RFH) or RMC for an existing appointment, they can simply call the PAT office (563-927-7685), and a staff member will deliver the vitamins directly to them during their visit.

For questions or more information about the free prenatal vitamin program, please contact RMC Parents as Teachers at 563-927-7685 or visit regmedctr.org/services-offered.
