CHIP

CHIP provides services for children, prenatal through age six, in the focus areas of health improvement, reduction of child abuse and neglect, and school readiness. Our voluntary in-home visiting program teams a certified parent educator and a registered nurse with children and families to provide case management, home visitation, health assessments, parent support, education and referrals.
Unsafe sleeping is the #1 cause of deaths for children from one week to one year of age. In response to this tragic loss of life CHIP created the SLEEPTIGHT campaign to provide an opportunity for any low-income parent in the region to attend a one hour safe-sleeping educational program and to receive a crib at no cost.
CHIP also provides expecting mothers and children in Hampton Roads with health insurance enrollment assistance. Healthy communities start with healthy children. We help every child have a healthy, loving start, so they enter school ready to learn and succeed.
CHIP's major community annual fundraiser is the Hampton Roads Rubber Duck Race occurring the fourth Saturday in April. http://hamptonroadsduckrace.org/
