| Legislators Visit CHC, Reach out and Read Program |
| |
Community Health Care’s River Drive Clinic doctors and nurses are sending families home from check-ups with free books and a very important prescription – “read aloud to your children.” Davenport legislators visited the health center to support this message by reading aloud to young patients.
Davenport Community Health Care participates in Reach Out and Read-Iowa (ROR-Iowa), a program that trains doctors and nurses to advise parents about the importance of reading aloud and to give books to children at check-ups from 6 months to 5 years. Through Reach Out and Read-Iowa, each child starts kindergarten with a home library of up to 10 new, carefully chosen books and a parent who has been informed about the importance of books and readingat every health supervision visit. Bilingual books are available in 12 languages. |
