During this time of social distancing and isolation and in compliance with the CDC guidelines, we will make home deliveries to our families so that they will have the necessary nutritious foods utilizing food as medicine. Our staff and drivers continue to follow the state mandated 6 feet distance so that they maintain a safe distance from our families while they provide this essential service.\u00a0<\/p>\n This week we welcomed our mental health professional to our virtual sister circle. She shared with our mothers\u2019 techniques that they can apply when working through the \u201cterrible twos\u201d. She provided applicable processes that any parent can utilized when their children begin to assert themselves. She also provided tips on remaining patients when we are working through difficult moments with our babies. Our doula was present to provide important information on pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.\u00a0<\/p>\n You can find more information on our programs on Facebook and Instagram. On behalf of Dr. Alice Freeman, the entire staff of Healthy Hearts Plus II and the families we serve, we say, \u201cThank You\u201d for your unselfish love and act of kindness.
