Help Us Grow Successfully (HUGS)
The Help Us Grow Successfully program is a targeted case management program that provides home-based intervention services to pregnant/postpartum women, children birth through the age of five (5) years and their primary caregivers. Care coordinators form a unique and voluntary relationship with a family. Care coordinators screen for and identify potential problems, provide education, and connect families with resources in their communities. The HUGS program seeks to prevent or reduce risks as well as promote health and wellness.
Program Goals:
- To improve pregnancy outcomes
- To improve maternal and child health and wellness

- To maintain or improve family strengths
