Maternal Child Health (MCH) nurses at Sullivan County Public Health Services (SCPHS) perform skilled nursing visits to pregnant, postpartum and pediatric patients throughout Sullivan County. Anne Mikulski RN, Supervising Community Health Nurse (SCHN) supervises a team of two full time MCH nurses, Janna Worden RN and Martha Wilcox, Community Health Nurse (CHN). Janna and Martha see complex MCH cases, participate in designing orientation training and in-services, and perform developmental screenings for the Early Care program and visits for the Lead Poisoning Prevention Program. MCH nurses also work with New York State's Newborn Screening Program. Sullivan County has a high rate of premature and caesarian deliveries. In 2015, the MCH program performed over 1000 skilled nursing visits to MCH patients. The MCH nursing team makes a valuable contribution to improving Public Health in this rural county by providing high risk women and children with critically important home based nursing services.
