Family Home Visits
Submit a form to request a family home visit.
Public health nurses assist parents as they create a healthy, nurturing environment for their young children. Visits are voluntary, free and tailored to individual families' interests and needs. Nurses may meet with parents of any age during pregnancy and/or after the baby is born.
A public health nurse can help you learn more about:
- Pregnancy health.
- Labor and delivery.
- Breastfeeding.
- Newborn care.
- Your baby's health, including weighing and measuring your baby.
- How babies grow, develop and learn.
- Other helpful services in the community.
