The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program supports pregnant people and parents with young children who live in communities that face greater risks and barriers to achieving positive maternal and child health outcomes. Families choose to participate in home visiting programs, and partner with health, social service, and child development professionals to set and achieve goals that improve their health and well-being.. The purpose of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program is to improve maternal and child health, early childhood development, and family well-being by providing pregnant people and parents with children up to kindergarten entry—especially those living in communities identified as at risk for poor maternal and child health outcomes—with voluntary, evidence-based home visiting services.
