Healthy growth and development program
At its September 15th meeting, a video↗ was presented to the Ottawa Board of Health to showcase the important work of Ottawa Public Health’s Healthy Growth and Development (HGD) Program. Created in collaboration with the HGD team and community partners, the video↗ offers an inspiring look at the dedication of Public Health Nurses, Family Visitors, and the program’s Social Workers in supporting families and fostering healthy child development.
We invite you to watch the video and see firsthand the positive impact of this meaningful work.
