Healthy Babies, Healthy Children At-Home Visits
Healthy Babies Healthy Children (HBHC) is a free, voluntary, and province-wide home-visit program designed to help children in our community get the best possible start in life. The HBHC program provides services to pregnant individuals, their partners, and to families with children from birth to their transition to school.
Please review our Youtube video to see the impact this program had on one family. You can also find more information on our webpage
