Children's Health Connection Reminder Program
The Children’s Health Connection Reminder Program is a free program that helps you keep up with good health, safety, nutrition and well-being information needed at important stages in the development of your infant, toddler, school-age child or adolescent.
Cribs for Kids
Cribs for Kids, a national program established in 1998 in Pittsburgh, Pa., provides underserved families with education, awareness and free cribs to curtail infant deaths and injury resulting from an infant’s sleeping environment. Crozer-Keystone Health System partners with the national Cribs for Kids program to serve those in need in Delaware County.
Crozer-Keystone Healthy Start
Healthy Start helps decrease infant mortality and increase prenatal care and childhood immunizations in the community. This free program is for pregnant women, parents, families and caregivers of children under two years of age who are residents of Chester, Eddystone, Woodlyn, Parkside, Upland, Toby Farms, Chester Township, Trainer, Marcus Hook, Linwood or Upper Chichester Township. To date, the program has served more than 1,200 pregnant and post-partum women and their families.
Crozer-Keystone Nurse-Family Partnership
Part of a nationwide initiative and funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, the Nurse-Family Partnership is an evidence-based, nurse home visiting program that improves the health, well-being and self-sufficiency of low-income, first-time parents and their children.
The program recruits women up to their sixth month of pregnancy. Once enrolled, families receive regular home visits by their designated nurse, who makes sure participants are receiving proper prenatal care and nutrition, living in a safe environment and are adequately preparing physically and environmentally for the arrival of their new baby. Nurses model and coach parents on basic life skills, how to be self-sufficient and how to be great parents.
