Overview
Sandusky County Help Me Grow Program is a program for Ohio's expectant parents, newborns, infants and toddlers to provide health and development services so that children start school healthy and ready to learn.
 
Impact
Expectant mothers receive home visits from a registered nurse to help prepare for the birth of a child.

All families of newborns are offered a home visit by a registered nurse to provide information and check on the health of the baby and mother.
Developmental screenings are done in a child's home up to the age of three.
A service Coordinator is assigned to each family to assist them in finding all possible services to help the child and their family.
