Maternal and Child Home Visiting Program

The Maternal and Child Home Visiting Program in Poughkeepsie, NY, is dedicated to supporting families from pregnancy through early childhood with essential home-based services delivered by experienced public health nurses. Our program focuses on the healthy development of mothers and children by providing vital education, support, and case management tailored to individual family needs. We conduct comprehensive physical and psychosocial assessments, offer nutritional guidance, and facilitate referrals to WIC and other nutrition assistance programs. Our team also screens for developmental delays and connects families at risk with Early Intervention services. By identifying family strengths and areas for improvement, we promote positive parent-child interaction, supply resources for families facing challenges such as domestic violence, and provide crucial information on immunizations and injury prevention. We are committed to empowering families in our community to access the resources they need for a healthy and thriving life together.
