What Olmsted County parents have to say
“It was nice to have uninterrupted time to ask questions and also not have to leave our home with our newborn! It made it very convenient to get the help we needed and put our minds at ease as new parents.”
“The support they give me in this new stage of my life and each visit helps me to improve as a mother.”
“I didn’t even know this was a thing until so late in the game. My public health nurse could have helped me save so much money by resources I didn’t even know was there.”
“The information I received concerning parenting, physical, and mental well-being of myself and my child was invaluable.”
