Early Years - Public Health, Western Zone, NSH

Early Years - Public Health, Western Zone, NSH We support families in the early years from prenatal to the age of three in the Western Zone of Nova

Public Health’s support for families begins during pregnancy and then extends into the first few years of a child’s life, up to age five. When you are first connected with Public Health Early Years, a Public Health Nurse (PHN) will talk to you during pregnancy or after birth to find out which service best suits the unique needs of your family. A PHN will also meet with you in the hospital once you

’ve had your baby to help with your next steps. If you adopted your child, you can connect directly with Public Health Early Years for support.
