Success By 6 Home Visiting Program

The goal of the Success By 6® Home Visiting Program is simple: to prepare children for bright futures through promoting good health, proper development and growth, and a sound education.

This program is offered free of charge by United Way of Lake County thanks to the generosity of the Abbott Fund. In partnership with One Hope United and the Lake County Health Department, the Home Visiting Program provides important educational information to families during twice-monthly visits by a One Hope United caseworker.

Additionally, a registered nurse from the Lake County Health Department Public Health Nursing Program provides home visits, which include social, physical and developmental assessments, nutrition and dental referrals, safety and parenting education, health monitoring; and general family health information. Nurses and caseworkers nurse bring all information to client homes and a time that is mutually convenient for both parties.
