Maternal/Child Nursing Visits

A registered nurse is available to make home visits to prenatal women, newborns, and postpartum or breastfeeding women and their families at no charge to Hamilton County residents. Having a baby can be an exciting but stressful time, the visiting nurse works with families to ease these stresses by finding additional helpful services that might be available and answering any questions the family might have.

If you would like more information call (518)648-6497 and ask to speak with the Family Health Services Coordinator.
