START SMART for Your Baby (Start Smart) is our special program for women who are pregnant and do not qualify for MassHealth. We want to help you take care of yourself and your child through this whole process. Information will be given by mail, telephone and through the Start Smart website www.startsmartforyourbaby.com. Our Start Smart staff can answer questions and give you support if you are having a problem. We can even arrange for a home visit if needed.

If you are pregnant and smoke cigarettes, CeltiCare can help you stop smoking. We have a special smoking cessation program for pregnant women available at no cost. The program has trained healthcare clinicians who are ready to build one-one contacts with you. They will provide education, counseling and support you need to help you quit smoking. Working as a team over the telephone, you and your health coach develop a plan to make changes in your behavior and life-style. These coaches will encourage and motivate you to stop smoking.

We have many ways to help you have a healthy pregnancy. Before we can help, we need to know you are pregnant. We can help you enroll in MassHealth if you qualify for maternity coverage.

Please call us as soon as you learn you are pregnant. We will set up the special care you and your baby need.
