Healthy Families New York (HFNY), a Healthy Families America (HFA) accredited home visiting program, seeks to improve the health and well-being of infants and children (up to age 5) through home-based services delivered by non-profit organizations in local communities.

Services include:

• Connect you with medical providers for prenatal/well-baby visits and immunizations.
• Provide you with information on prenatal care, parenting, infant and child development, and child health.
• Demonstrate activities for you to practice with your child to increase bonding and to stimulate cognitive and physical development.
• Assess your child for developmental milestones and provide referrals for early intervention if delays are indicated.
• Help your family access community resources and services, such as job training, ESL classes, legal services, GED preparation classes, and health care, among others.
