VNS partners with Healthy Families America

SOUTH KINGSTOWN – Using grant money from the R.I. Department of Health, VNS Home Health Services has begun providing specialized pediatric care to Westerly families through Health Families America.

Healthy Families is a nationally recognized home-visiting program designed to assist families at risk for adverse childhood experiences.

Following the Health Families model, VNS pediatric nurses work with families that have histories of financial trouble, physical abuse, mental health issues, and substance abuse.

VNS has cared for 14 families and is looking to serve 11 more by year’s end.
