Healthy Families - Atlantic City
This program promotes positive parent-child interactions and positive
growth and development. At-risk families receive long-term, intensive
home visits by specially-trained lay family support workers who support
and educate the parents within their own family setting. Cooperative staff
also guide the parents as they access needed services. Families are linked
with a health care "home" for a continuum of preventive and primary health
care services. Contact: Barbara

Infant And Family Development (IAFD)
An early intervention program for high-risk infants and their families
in Atlantic County. The goal is to lower the incidence of developmental
delay of at-risk infants, and prevent their abuse and neglect by providing
extensive at-home, remedial, rehabilitative and educational services by
health care professionals. IAFD is supported in part by the New Jersey
Department of Health & Senior Services (NJDHSS). Contact: Barbara

Patient Transport & Referral
The efficient and appropriate transport of patients is a Cooperative
priority. The Cooperative coordinates and oversees the inter-hospital
transport and transfer system which ensures that patients are cared
for in the facility that can best respond to their condition. The
Cooperative is also responsible for data collection associated with
tracking patients who are transferred.
