Maternal Child Health
The Maternal Child Health program provides an informal parent and baby home visit from a public health nurse to assist families after the birth of their baby whether it is their first baby, or they already have children. Mothers receive support and education, baby weight checks, health teaching on parenting and child development and referrals to community services. This program is voluntary and short term.
Lactation Support Services - Jackson County Public Health offers breastfeeding support and problem management to breast feeding mothers and babies. Contact Amy Gunderson with WIC at ext. 499.
