Healthy Families

 

“The resources my home visitor provides have been awesome. They were very in tune with our needs and offers advice and information before I even ask!”

New parents often need encouragement and support as they navigate the decisions and changes that come with having a baby.

In Healthy Families, we work to support parents by assigning a Home Visitor who regularly stops by and spends time with the parent.

The Home Visitor ensures baby doesn’t miss a doctor’s appointment, helps figure out childcare arrangements and monitors development - gifting parents with peace of mind.

SCAN’s Healthy Families is accredited through Healthy Families of America, a national seal of quality.

  • Parents qualify for the completely free program by being eligible for a form of Medicaid, such as HIP, Caresource, WIC and more, and by falling within income guidelines.
