We Are Serving Our Clients In Person!

We are happy to announce that our three maternal-child home visiting programs resumed in-person client visits effective July 1, 2021. After many months of virtual and phone visits, and extended absences due to Covid-19 response activities, our home visitors are back in the field and providing in-person support, coaching, and assessments.
