Healthy Start
Healthy Start program nurses and outreach workers from the Health Department support first time parents by providing support and important information about child safety, child health, disease prevention, child development, and parenting skills. Public Health Nurses begin home visits with first time parents before or within the first few weeks after the infant’s birth and continue offering this support for up to three years.
Referrals are received from the Central Referral System and community agencies. Information about the services is available by calling (615) 880-2159 or by emailing us.
