HANDS Program to Raise Healthy Children Expanded Beyond First-Time Parents

kyhands.com

A home visiting project to help families raise healthy children that used to serve only first-time parents has expanded to include those with more than one child.

Kentucky Health Access Nurturing Development Services, called HANDS, provides information and support during pregnancy and early childhood.

As of July 1 the program is open to anyone, but enrollment must be during pregnancy or before the baby is 90 days old.

The expansion of the HANDS program includes all of Kentucky’s 120 counties.
