Referral Process
Referrals received by Early Childhood Nursing Services are screened by the program supervisor on an ongoing basis.
The supervisor assigns cases to each public health nurse according to established criteria. Nurses then contact clients to schedule a home visit at the earliest time that is convenient for both the client and the nurse.
We accept referrals via phone, fax, or mail.
