At one of life’s most vulnerable and transformative moments—pregnancy and the birth of a child—CAMBA’s Healthy Families program is there to ensure parents are not navigating it alone. Through trusted, relationship-based home visiting, the program supports families as they adjust to parenthood, strengthening their confidence, well-being, and ability to nurture healthy child development. Families receive education and guidance tailored to their needs, along with help identifying and addressing financial, emotional, and other stressors that can impact long-term stability.
In 2024, Healthy Families served 166 families through 1,436 home visits, connecting parents to critical resources including family support services, mental health counseling, job readiness assistance, and other social services. Families also had access to CAMBA’s emergency food pantry and essential donated items such as clothing, toys, and books—meeting immediate needs while supporting healthier futures.
Every five years, Healthy Families programs nationwide undergo a rigorous national accreditation review. In 2024, CAMBA was proud to be selected as one of only 15 sites statewide to receive an in-depth peer review visit as part of the Healthy Families New York system’s re-accreditation process.
Following a three-day site visit and in-depth review by peer reviewers from Healthy Families America, CAMBA’s Healthy Families program was successfully re-accredited in 2025—affirming the high-quality, family-centered services delivered every day.
