Family home visiting (FHV) is a voluntary, no-charge service offered to families starting early in pregnancy and continuing through the first two years of a child’s life. FHV promotes optimal health and wellbeing for pregnant individuals, caregivers, infants, and children. Home visits are provided by a public health nurse, who meets with individuals and families to provide support and share information and resources. Nurses can also offer physical assessments for the birthing parent and infant, breast/chest feeding support, as well as a variety of other health screenings.  

 

Here at St. Louis County Public Health, we have three family home visiting programs available. We recognize that no two families are the same and will help you to find the right program to fit your family’s needs and interests. Learn more about each program by reading the sections below, or click the link HERE to watch this video.
