Family Connects Victoria County is an evidence-based nurse home visiting program for families with newborns 3 to 12 weeks old.

Having a new baby comes with many questions. Family Connects offers all families a home visit from a registered nurse who can provide support, answer questions, and connect them with resources.

• Baby weight checks
