Please note: Due to budget cuts and reduction in force, we now have a waitlist for home visiting services. Patients will be contacted first come first serve based on priority demographics as outlined by the state.
We are still able to offer individual lactation support and prenatal education services.
The Wyoming Hand in Hand Home Visitation Program is available to all women, during pregnancy and/or following the birth of the baby for assessment, information and referral to community agencies. The program offers one main program for all families, with some specialized options for specific needs and situations. This new program allows us to offer gifts to families throughout the program at developmental stages.
Wyoming Hand in Hand (WHH), is an evidence based nurse-led structured program for families on their parenting journey. Wyoming Hand in Hand utilizes Maternal Early Childhood Sustained Home-visiting (MECSH) which is designed by Professor Lynn Kemp. Each family served by Wyoming Hand in Hand is partnered with a trained registered nurse during pregnancy or after birth and receives ongoing nurse home visits that continue through the child’s second birthday. This program consists of at least 25 home visits, which include a variety of topics, resources, and incentive gifts based on the child's age. Wyoming Hand in Hand is currently offered in all 23 counties.
Our goals the for Wyoming Hand in Hand Program include:
Improving Birth Outcomes
Strengthening Families
Improving child health and development
Promoting family stability and economic self-sufficiency
Improving family resources support
