Nurse Advisor Program

The Nurse Advisor Program to the Department of Human Services (DHS) provides assessment data, nursing medical advice and clarification of medical terms, assigned visits with clients and family members, and other case related information as requested by DHS Case Workers concerning high risk reported cases of suspected neglect/abuse, failure to thrive, severe bodily injury cases, and provide assessment and evaluation of infants and children ages 0-6.

Early intervention and assessment by social and medical professional in cases that are reported to DHS are essential to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to determine needed services through a team of professionals on a case specific basis are vital for the best possible outcomes for children and youth, and families.
