Each & Every Newborn: The Paradigm Shift for Equity
Description:
Offering nurse home visits to all families with newborns instead of targeted services to specific populations is a major paradigm shift. This session will include a conversation with Dr. Sherika Hill, CEO of Family Connects International. Dr. Hill will make the case that all newborns deserve a warm and secure connection to family and community from the start and these essential connections are often strongest when care for a family’s social, emotional, and physical health are in place. She will explain why offering services to everyone removes the stigma of accepting needed support.
