Home Visiting
Our home visiting programs offer a wide range of services to ensure families have the resources, knowledge, and support necessary to raise healthy families and build loving homes. Using specialized knowledge and skills, Maternity Care Coalition (MCC) community health workers (Advocates), provide health and parenting education to mothers, birthing people, and families with children ages 0-3.
What is Home Visiting?
Home visiting is a method of providing services to families in their homes and communities. MCC's home visiting programs are built on a foundation of trust and support between families and our Advocates because we meet families where they live and work. Families are matched with Advocates who understand the range of cultural backgrounds in our communities and work with families to ensure their individual needs and goals are met.
