Family Health Bureau

The Bureau of Family Health provides comprehensive wraparound services to Harford County families. Families may access preventive health services, recovery support, home visiting programs, and services that empower them to access additional community and health resources that they might need.

Programs: 

• Dental Health - The Dental program provides comprehensive oral health care services to children from birth through age 20, pregnant/postpartum women, and adults who are enrolled in Medical Assistance. The clinic services include X-rays, cleanings, sealants, fluoride treatments, oral health education, nutrition education, restorations (fillings), extractions, crowns, space maintainers for missing primary teeth, and referrals to specialty care when necessary.
• WIC Program - The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is a public health nutrition program under the USDA providing nutrition education, nutritious foods, breastfeeding support, and healthcare referrals for income-eligible women who are pregnant or postpartum, infants, and children up to age 5. Clients who are eligible must live in Maryland, meet income guidelines, and have a nutritional need.
• MA Transportation - The Medical Assistance Transportation program assures access to care by coordinating transportation services for Harford County Medicaid recipients who need transportation to and from medical services but have no other means of transportation available to them. Modes of transportation provided include ambulatory (cab and passenger van), wheelchair van, and ambulance.
• Healthy Families America - provides home visiting services to all prenatal and postpartum families in Harford County. All pregnant women and families with children under the age of 3 months are eligible to enroll in the Healthy Families program. Enrolled families are able to participate until their children reach three years of age. Families are assigned Family Support Specialists who share the latest information about prenatal and early childhood development, promote positive parenting skills through parent-child interactions, and connect families with health care and local community resources.
