To wrap up the National Home Visiting Week we wanted to give a shoutout to two more home visitors that were nominated for the Home Visitor of the Year, Jenny and Michelle!
⭐ Jenny exemplifies the very best of Nurse-Family Partnership® with Adams County Health Department, through her unwavering commitment to families.
She excels at connecting families to critical community resources, including healthcare, mental health support, education, housing, financial assistance, and social services.
A mother that works with Jenny mentioned, "Frankly, I would be lost without the program, and I hope other mothers can benefit from Jenny too. Just knowing the resources and having someone like Jenny has your back is such a great help.
⭐ Michelle is an exceptional nurse with Montrose County’s Nurse-Family Partnership® team. In just a year and a half, Michelle has made an impact on her clients, her colleagues, and the communities she serves.
Michelle’s averaged 812 miles per month traveled across Western Colorado, often in challenging conditions that include snow, ice, and mountain passes during the winter months. Michelle’s willingness to navigate these conditions reflects a level of dedication to her clients and her team.
Families describe Michelle as a source of confidence and emotional safety. One mother wrote, “She has truly been such a kind soul and an absolute angel in mine and my baby’s life. She listens, reassures, and genuinely cares. Her visits have helped me grow into a more confident mom.”
Thank you Jenny and Michelle for empowering parents in Colorado as they navigate being first time parents!
