Healthy
Start
A Program directed by Jane Schroeder, RN, through The McDowell
Hospital to identify ‘at risk’ children within two weeks of birth.
Children are tracked for incidences of injury, hospitalization,
well checks, and immunizations. Home
visitation is stressed using the Hawaii Healthy Start Model.
First
Steps
A nationally recognized primary child abuse prevention program.
Parents receive a hospital visit and a home visit, as well as
telephone follow-up for the first six months after the child’s birth.
The service is offered to ALL new Moms that deliver at The McDowell
Hospital who are otherwise not eligible for established home visitation
programs.
