A new program that sends free health information directly to expectant and new moms' mobile phones was launched Thursday at the Health IT Summit for Government Leaders in Washington, D.C.
Officials are touting the text4baby program as the first free mobile health service in the United States, with participants paying nothing to send or receive messages.
Tom Tsang, MD, Aaron McKethan, PhD, and Craig Brammer from the Office of the National Coordinator, and the Beacon Communities give an overview of the Beacon Community Program in this video from the ONC website.
