South County Home Health, a part of South County Health, has been accredited by Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America). PCA America, an affiliate of Healthy Families America (HFA), recognized SCHH as a provider of high-quality home visiting services to families who want to improve their child’s health, nutrition, and developmental outcomes.
The accreditation process is based upon a stringent set of 12 critical elements. The process involves an in-depth examination of the site’s operation, as well as the quality of the visits made by HFA home visitors.
“This is a tremendous accomplishment for the South County Home Health team. It symbolizes a large step forward in the care we provide our community as far as caring for the entire lifespan of the communities we serve,” said Marcia Werber Feldman, Associate Vice President for Home Health, South County Health.
SCHH staff received extensive training in a wide range of areas that can cause stress and worry to just about every new parent: caring for a new baby, ensuring the baby is receiving the nutrition needed, promoting healthy child development and coping with a myriad of other potential stresses, such as financial, housing, partner relationship, etc., that may become heightened with an addition to the family.
