Serving Watsonville, CA
Bilingual maternal health care in Watsonville
Watsonville anchors the Pajaro Valley in Santa Cruz County, a strawberry and berry capital where the fields are worked largely by Mexican farmworker families and Spanish is the first language in most homes. When Watsonville Community Hospital nearly closed, the community bought it back into a public district so families would not have to leave the valley to deliver. Materna fits that same spirit with bilingual, Spanish-first prenatal and postpartum care.
