Flathead City-County Health Department offers two home visiting programs, MIAMI and Follow Me. Home visiting provides an opportunity to meet the family on their own ground, giving the family a better sense of control and involvement in identifying and meeting their own health needs. For the nurse, visiting in the home provides a much clearer picture of family strengths and needs in an informal, relaxed setting in which the nurse is a guest in the family home.

MIAMI Project (Montana's Initiative for the Abatement of Mortality in Infants) is a statewide low birth weight prevention project that works with pregnant women and their health care providers to help them have a healthy full-term pregnancy. Services available through this project include: Case Management which includes assessment and referrals by Nurses, Social Workers and Dieticians; Pregnancy, Labor and Delivery, and Parenting information and education.

Medicaid presumptive eligibility is a service provided to assist pregnant women in accessing Medicaid early in their pregnancy thereby helping them to access prenatal care early.

Follow Me Program begins at birth up to the age of 5. Public Health nurses provide screenings, parenting information, referrals and anticipatory guidance. The goal of this project is to enhance child growth and development, promote parenting and ensure early intervention services as needed so all Montana children will enter school healthy and ready to succeed.
