BERNE — Community Cradle wants to interview Hilltown women about health issues to find out what kind of care they are getting and what they need.

The organization serves Albany, Schenectady, and Rensselaer counties, and is funded by the state’s Department of Health, said Executive Director Lucy Pulitzer.

“We do prenatal and postnatal care and work on family health issues,” said Pulitzer. “We do training programs and have a resource directory.”

She described Community Cradle as “very small” with just two full-time workers.

“We’re not serving the rural areas the way we’d like to,” said Pulitzer.

Hence, Amanda Mulhern, an outreach health educator, will be interviewing women between the ages of 18 and 60 at Families Together, at St. John’s Church, on Tuesday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Each interview will take 15 to 20 minutes. Gift cards and other incentives will be offered to each woman who completes an interview. No registration is required. Volunteers may just walk in.

“The goal,” said Pulitzer, “is to seek additional funds to provide services in rural areas.”

The interviews will help Community Cradle pinpoint the needs.
