The Childhood Begins at Home campaign released a new brief that takes a closer look at the opportunity of Medicaid financing of home visiting services to reach more Pennsylvania families.
Home visiting services help nurture a healthy environment for expectant parents and families with young children by focusing on child development, improving maternal and child health, providing positive parental coaching and guidance, and much more.
This brief explores the benefits of the Medicaid Maternal Home Visiting program (MHV) created by DHS four years ago and offers recommendations to the department for further improvement.
