Partnership for the Future: Health Centers and Maternal Child Health Home Visiting Opportunities: Session One

Session One: Home Visitation and Maternal Child Health: Environmental Scan

In this three-part webinar series hosted by the National Nurse-led Care Consortium (NNCC) and the National Center for Health in Public Housing (NCHPH), viewers can expect to learn about improving maternal and child health equity with home visiting program partnerships and health centers. This series explores opportunities for health centers to develop partnerships with home visiting programs shown to improve maternal and child health outcomes, promote health equity, and reduce health disparities.

The first session covered trends in the current landscape of Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) funded programs and where existing and future partnerships with health centers are possible. In session two, participants heard about community health centers’ return on investment (ROI) and increased patient health outcomes after home visiting integration. And the third session showcased strategies for creating action and sustainability plans to implement a home visiting partnership for interested health centers.
