Taos First Steps Program

Holy Cross Hospital’s First Steps Home Visitors provide support to women who are pregnant for the first time, and to first-time parents including fathers, adoptive parents and foster families.

Taos First Step home visitors foster a healthy transition to parenthood for the first three years of the child’s life. Through one-on-one relationships with their home visitor, parents gain knowledge about nutrition, preventative health care, preschool readiness and access to community resources.

Taos First Steps aims to achieve a community where:

  • Babies are born healthy
  • Children are physically and mentally healthy
  • Children are safe
  • Children and parents have safe and nurturing relationships
  • The family is connected to formal and informal support in the community

First Steps coordinates services with:

  • UNM Early Childhood Resource Center
  • Northern New Mexico Midwifery Center
  • New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department
  • Taos Clinic for Children and Youth
  • New Mexico Public Health Department
  • Family Practice Associates
  • Women’s Health Institute
