Safety Care for Families

The weather wasn’t good to us earlier this winter and we had to cancel some of our Safety Care for Family workshops. However, we have rescheduled them and are excited to announce the new dates! As spots are limited, we urge you to register soon.

Omaha Updates

Since launching our children's clinic in Omaha, we've seen continuous growth, not only in the size of our team but also in the number of families benefiting from our services! Just this week, we welcomed another team member and attended the University of Nebraska Omaha's career fair where we had the opportunity to share our mission and vision with college students, local businesses, and other community organizations. Attending the career fair welcomed fresh talent and allowed us to strengthen our presence within the community. We look forward to continuing to pour into these families of Iowa and Nebraska!
