    Job Description


    The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is expanding home visiting in NYC and streamlining how providers, organizations and community residents can access quality home visiting services.

    The goal is to improve maternal and child health and well-being outcomes by matching families' assessed risks to evidence-based (EB) or evidence-generating (EG) home visiting (HV) models that are most appropriate for them based on their needs, and to connect them to other resources as needed.

    Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequities create disparate outcomes in the neighborhoods served by existing Agency sponsored locally designed home visiting programs as compared with the rest of the city, and providing services beginning in the prenatal through postpartum period is vital to addressing these outcomes.

    In addition, recent attention to inequities in maternal morbidity and mortality, especially in New York City, points to the need for more respectful care and greater agency for the laboring patient during childbirth, both of which the program's home visiting staff will facilitate:
