LA Best Babies Network Information

LA Best Babies Network brings together hospitals and community organizations in Los Angeles County, providing tools and training to make their home visiting programs succeed. With our coordination and technical support, these programs are changing lives during pregnancy and beyond. Oversight We keep our network on track, conducting audits and providing technical assistance to ensure each team meets the requirements of funders and national program models. We also produce and maintain protocols and host regular meetings for each role, so duties and expectations are clear to all. Training Supporting parents and families starts with a well-trained workforce. Before home visitors see families, we make sure they have in-depth training on a wide range of topics. We coordinate and facilitate this training throughout the year – and then follow up by offering continuing education, peer-to-peer learning, and collaboration. Data Management We provide the infrastructure to fulfill requirements for data collection and confidentiality. With rigorous analysis and reporting, we also bring data to life so it can guide our relentless pursuit of continuous quality improvement. Communications and Outreach We guide and support outreach teams, helping them raise awareness about their programs and recruit clients. From custom marketing materials to blogs, social media, and tools for online referrals, we provide organizations what they need to enroll families. We also share the latest information and relevant resources. Policy and Advocacy Our advocacy efforts shine a light on how home visiting investments pay off for families and communities. We also keep our network apprised of local, state, and federal policy changes and how they may affect their work. By overseeing the Los Angeles County Perinatal and Early Childhood Home Visitation Consortium, we’re uniquely positioned to lead and partner with home visiting programs in L.A. County.
