Family Home Visiting

 
 

A healthy start can set a child up to thrive for a lifetime. That’s why our family home visiting (FHV) nurses work to promote the health and wellbeing of pregnant individuals, caregivers, infants, and children from early in pregnancy and continuing through the first two years of a child’s life.

Our public health nurses will meet with you to provide support and resources. We also offer physical assessments for the birthing parent and infant, breast/chest feeding support, and a variety of other health screenings. No two families are the same, so our nurses will work with you to find the program that best fits your family’s needs.

HOPE Group

The Healing, Outreach, and Perinatal Encouragement (HOPE) Group offers a safe environment to navigate the roller coaster of emotions that many families experience during pregnancy and after birth. Hosted by our Public Health Nurses, HOPE is an opportunity for individuals to tell their story, hear others’ stories, and heal alongside fellow new parents, regardless of if someone has a formal medical diagnosis of postpartum depression or anxiety
