Hands

The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Community Based Services offer a program called HANDS (Health Access Nurtruring Development Services) through the local health departments. This program is for new and expecting mothers (dad's too) and is completely voluntary. There will be home visits by someone employed with HANDS. They will answer any questions one may have about their pregnancy or any concerns they have about their new little one. This program is offered because a child's parents are the most important people in their lives. They will teach them and care for them. The HANDS program is important to first time parents because along with all the good things that a child brings also comes alot of stress, questions, and worries. This program will offer a variety of ways for a mother to maintain a healthy pregnancy, a healthy baby, a safe home, and other services in the community that you may benefit from. For information on this program from the Montgomery County Health Department you may call 859-498-3808.
