About...

Registered Nurses provide a home visit to pregnant women and new mothers and babies to help them get off to the best start in life.   The nurses give information for good health and development so that children start school healthy and ready to learn.  More visits may be made if extra help is needed and the family agrees.   

Program Services

The Welcome Home visit includes a checkup of the mother and the baby by a registered nurse.  Information about finding a source of medical care for the family is offered if it is needed.  Information on normal growth, safety, nutrition and immunizations is given.  All visits are free of charge, at no cost to the family and are only made if the family wishes.
