Clinica Sierra Vista in Bakersfield, CA, offers the Medically Vulnerable Infant Program (MVIP) to families with babies recently discharged from local Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). This nurse home-visiting program aims to support parents in understanding their infant's medical needs and providing necessary resources for their care.
The MVIP focuses on children up to 3 years old meeting specific medical criteria, providing home-based case management services by registered nurses. Its services include helping families establish medical homes, offering up-to-date immunizations, and connecting families with community resources to promote the well-being of high-risk infants.
Through intensive home visits, developmental assessments, healthcare coordination, and education on infant care, the Medically Vulnerable Infant Program strives to reduce hospitalizations, prevent developmental disabilities, and ultimately enhance the quality of life for these vulnerable infants and their families.
