CHIP is a nonprofit program of New River Community Action. CHIP aims to improve the health of low-income families with children ages birth to seven, pregnant women, and provide additional services that encourage family self-sufficiency.

Description:
As a collaborative effort between NRCA, local private physicians, dentists, and health care practitioners, CHIP links families with a medical and dental 'home' where children receive consistent and comprehensive care in a familiar setting. All services emphasize prevention and early intervention. CHIP services, provided by a nurse and home visitor team, include helping families make and keep appointments, following physician recommendations, parenting education, transportation to medical & dental appointments, medical case management, and referrals to other community-based services the family needs.
