Three years ago, Nelson County was identified as a “Maternity Care Desert.” ReadyKids, with the help of an NCCF grant, expanded their Healthy Families program to Nelson County by providing free in-home visits to help new families support healthy childhood development, encourage positive parent-child relationships, and strengthen family function.
Success Story:
“Home visiting provided me the reassurance that I am doing all of the things that I should be doing in preparing for a baby and helped me to make goals to see that everything is possible.”
