Home Visiting

Help at Your Doorstep

Fortunately, Help Me Grow is a free service that connects pregnant women and families with newborns to information and community resources. Help Me Grow Care Coordinators can send a caring expert—in maternal child health or child development—right to your door. Your Home Visiting professional can help you have a healthier pregnancy and birth… teach you how to monitor your baby’s growth and development… and answer questions about parenting, breastfeeding, health care, and more.
