CONGRATULATIONS!

Whether you have just found out that you are pregnant, have just given birth, or are experiencing parenting issues, Ontario County Public Health nurses can visit you in your home and provide you with free health information.

Parenting is a new chapter in your life. You may have questions on caring for yourself, your baby, and your family. Health education home visits are free and available to any Ontario County resident. Visits are tailored to meet your needs and can include helpful information on what to expect with pregnancy, caring for your newborn, breastfeeding, child safety information, and parenting techniques.

In these troubling economic times, families often need assistance but are unsure of how to get help. Ontario County has a wealth of family resources. Public Health nurses connect families to available resources in their area. Let your nurse know if you or your children need insurance, a primary care doctor, immunizations, a Lactation Consultant, financial assistance, or Early Intervention Services.

No matter what stage of parenting you are in, Public Health is here to partner with you and provide accurate, health and parenting education within the comfort of your home.

No referral is necessary--simply call 585-396-4343 or 1-800-299-2995.
