A Unique Care Model
One of the standout features of Hilltop’s B4 Babies program is the help it provides with Medicaid and CHP+ enrollment, making sure families have access to affordable healthcare services like prenatal care, mental health support and doctor visits. They even offer transportation to appointments, and services are available in both English and Spanish, ensuring greater access for everyone.
Hilltop takes a flexible, community-driven approach, meeting families where they feel most comfortable—whether it’s at home, in a park or the office. This participant-led model allows mothers to set the pace, making it easier for them to engage with the support they need while managing the demands of motherhood. The program also specializes in helping mothers struggling with substance use disorders (SUD), connecting them to expert care and supporting them throughout their recovery journey.
One success story from the program highlights a mother who, with the guidance of her family navigator, achieved her goals and now works full-time and lives independently. “I would not be where I am if it was not for her,” she shared, highlighting Hilltop’s empowering, non-judgmental approach.
Hilltop’s commitment to flexibility and personalized care ensures that families across Mesa and Montrose counties have access to the resources they need to thrive. By meeting families where they are—both physically and emotionally—Hilltop continues to make a lasting impact on the communities it serves.
