Dedicated staff with Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health women and children's community programs provide valuable services to at-risk families.

Healthy Beginnings Plus, Nurse-Family Partnership, and Family Planning Program teams offer prenatal and postpartum education, child development information, home visitation, case management, essential supplies with a diaper and menstrual product bank, and free reproductive health care.

During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, these employees had the opportunity for a day of training to strengthen their own resilience and well-being.

"We're grateful for this training that will help our teams better navigate the challenging issues facing the families they serve," said Dawn Horst, manager of Women and Children’s Community Health.
