What is the Liaison Program?
It is a home visitation program by a Public Health Nurse (PHN) for families who have a baby being discharged from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Central California Children’s Hospital or Community Regional Medical Center or who have children with challenging medical conditions. It also provides services to older children from 3 through 5 years old who have developmental or behavioral concerns.
How does such a child receive a home visit by a PHN?
