Newborn Home Visit
A newborn home visit is an opportunity for families to get peace of mind and ask in-depth questions about the health and safety of their new baby. The visit is conducted by a registered nurse who is specially trained in working with families with new babies. Newborn home visits are free and are provided soon after the baby comes home from the hospital. The home visit includes a screening for families to see if they qualify for Cribs for Kids®.
