Maternal Child Health


Picture
Our agency collaborates with the Vermont Department of Health and the Parent Child Center to offer supportive and preventive services to families with newborns and young children who are at risk for medical and psychosocial problems. Some private insurance policies have postpartum benefits which include skilled nursing visits and/or homemaker services. Maternal-child health nurses perform home visits prenatally and postpartum to women to provide teaching relating to pregnancy, labor and delivery, breast feeding and newborn care.

Pediatric Care

Children who are acutely or chronically ill are followed by maternal-child health nurses and receive pediatric care under physician orders for intermittent skilled care and specific procedures. The pediatric physical therapist sees infants and children at the request of physicians to do growth and development assessments, to establish exercise routines, to monitor progress towards therapeutic goals, and to assist families in obtaining adaptive equipment. The collaboration between parents, physician and home care team can make a tremendous difference in the lives of families with children who have special needs.

Hi-Tech Program

Home Health administers the Medicaid-based High-Tech Program which provides nursing and/or aide care at home for children (and sometimes adults) who are dependent upon specialized equipment such as enteral pumps, monitors, ventilators, respiratory equipment or suction machines. Together with families, this program enables a child to be at home in spite of high level technological care needs. The shift coverage is staffed by a per diem registry of nurses who are proficient in all levels of care.
