Midwives often have the most continuous and trusted relationship with postpartum clients of any provider. That relationship is a powerful channel for connecting clients with benefits they're entitled to but may not know about — including 21 free home-delivered meals per week through New York's HRSN program.

What Is the HRSN Meal Benefit?

Under New York's NYHER 1115 Medicaid Waiver, Medicaid-enrolled pregnant and postpartum women qualify for 21 free freshly cooked home-delivered meals per week for up to 15 months. Meals are delivered twice weekly, never frozen, at zero cost to patients or providers.

Why This Matters for Your Clients

Postpartum nutrition directly affects recovery, breastfeeding success, and mental health outcomes. Yet cooking becomes nearly impossible with a newborn. HRSN meals remove that barrier entirely — ensuring your clients eat well during the most critical recovery window without any effort on their part.

The Referral — What It Actually Takes

  • Mention the benefit to an eligible client (30 seconds)
  • Get verbal consent
  • Share your unique referral link via text or email
  • That's it — Orivia Care handles everything from that point
