Benton County Public Health

🌞 July is here, and our Family Home Visiting team has so much to share!
This month we’re highlighting the heart of our work—gratitude, the power of tummy time, and a behind the scenes look at why our staff use specific assessment tools to support your family’s goals. You’ll also hear directly from our team about what they love most about their jobs. 💛 We’re excited to feature upcoming Father programming and a roundup of local parenting events to help you stay connected and supported all summer long.
✨ We’re grateful to walk alongside you—thanks for being part of our community! https://tinyurl.com/3haz7v42

During this month's First Steps Community of Practice, we spotlighted several public health programs including Benton's human trafficking prevention efforts, Stearns' Parenting Inside Out Program, Wright's Connected Spaces work, and were joined from MDH staff who gave a refresher about Sexual & Reproductive Health to our nurse home visitors.

We also celebrated our home visitors and behind-the-scenes office support staff who are the heart of the program and ensure our day-to-day work is efficient and timely.

Sip, Sip, Hooray! We appreciate our staff every day!
