Healthy Start Home Visiting

Healthy Start Home Visiting is a voluntary program that brings caring and supportive professionals to a family’s home during pregnancy and after childbirth to help a family prepare for and raise a baby. Families are matched with a Home Visitor who provides personalized care, education and access to resources at no-cost. A Home Visitor may be a nurse, social worker, health educator or other trained professional knowledgeable about the health and well-being of babies and families.

This program is made possible by Connect, Florida’s coordinated intake and referral process. Connect is the one-stop entry point to connect families with home visiting programs and other resources to improve outcomes for moms and babies.
