Nursing services include a health and developmental assessment, anticipatory guidance, health education and counseling based on the plan of care for the identified problems. These services are provided in collaboration with medical services by the primary provider. Infants are referred from hospital neonatal intensive care units, private medical physicians, social workers and other home health agencies.
