Are you curious about how our community has overcome struggles?

 

Here is a collection of stories and experiences shared by community members.

HOME VISITING

WCIHS' free Home Visiting program works directly with families before, during, and after pregnancy to ensure a healthy baby up to 18 months. Home visits are meant to ensure your family has what they need for a successful pregnancy and life after the baby comes. By participating in the WCIHS home visiting program clients earn incentives.

What our team does when visiting your home:

​

  1. Treats the entire family with respect

  2. Educates about any safety concerns in the home

  3. Breastfeeding Support (if applicable)

  4. Uses an evidenced-based curriculum to teach different ways to interact and play with your baby

  5. Discusses goals for your life

  6. Connects you with Community Resources

DOCTOR OFFICE

WCIHS' Navigators work directly with doctor offices in the Wabash Valley to better serve patients. Our Navigators can meet with you before or after your appointment to answer any questions and work with you to obtain insurance, breastfeeding support,  community resources, and check eligibility for WCIHS' Home Visiting program. They also work with you to reduce risks for infant mortality. Click here to see the list of Navigators and their locations.

BABIES

The driving force behind WCIHS is simple:

​

All Babies Deserve a Chance.

Babies

Fathers play a key role in the success of a baby and family. No matter your own situation, WCIHS can help you be a better Dad and build better relationships.

 

WCIHS has partnered to bring the Fathering In 15 Curriculum to more families in the Wabash Valley. Click here for a list of sites for referral for classes.
