Great conversation in Children & Families on the importance of #homevisiting & considerations for a more effective #hotline! #Grateful for the leadership & heart of @HannahKellyMO & Director Darrell Missey.
Evidence-based home visiting is one of the best strategies we have to improve children's health! If MO took these services to scale, we would see measurable changes in our children's health! #homevisiting#winningmissouriindependent.com/2023….
It was a great day celebrating an epic year for early childhood in the state of MO! Wish @GovParsonMO could have been there with us to see the momentum he has created! @KidsWinMissouri#moleg
