Young Family Program of Community Health & Hospice Community Health & Hospice

We believe that it is better to build children than to repair adults.

Using a family-centered approach, we support and teach families through:
  • Pediatric Visiting Nurses
  • Mother-Baby Postpartum Visits
  • Prenatal Home Visits
  • Immunizations
  • The Lakes Region Child Development Program - click here
  • Partners in Health (additional information - click here)
  • Pediatric Care Management

The Young Family Program connected Chance (age 5) and his mom Nancy Lamarche with Partners In Health and the Family Council. Nancy says, “It’s been very rewarding to share the benefit of others’ experience and to be able to use the Council to help expand community awareness.”

The Young Family Program serves children with a chronic illness or developmental disability; premature infants; children with no health care provider; or any parent with concerns or questions about parenting or child development.

“If we can support families while they are learning how to find and use resources—including themselves—we will build a stronger, healthier generation of children.”
Kristen Awrich, RN, Young Family Program Manager
