The Cabarrus Partnership for Children contracts with the Cabarrus Health Alliance ( http://www.Cabarrushealth.org ) for several important Smart Start funded health activities in Cabarrus County:

Child Care Health Consultants

Centers and homes with high percentages of infants and toddlers are a primary focus, along with centers with high numbers of children whose child care is subsidized and the More at Four classes.

Stepping Stones Intensive Home Visiting Program

Specially trained nurses manage a caseload of fifty pregnant and parenting teens, ensuring good prenatal care and infant care. Mothers are encouraged to develop vocational and education goals. Call Julia Patterson or Jaclyn Smith at 704-920-1000.

Early Intervention Liaison

The Early Intervention Liaison Program provides outreach and early intervention coordination to our primary care pediatric and family practices and to the neonatal intensive care unit at CMC-Northeast.  The Liaison provides training on developmental screenings and the use of uniform tools, and provides technical assistance to staff in setting up effective procedures to integrate screenings and follow-ups into office workflow so that referrals are tracked and children receive needed assessments and therapies.  The Liaison also provides resources to better equip medical staff for giving guidance to parents, and a comprehensive resource and referral guide. Call Debbie Biggerstaff at 704-934-4399.
