Don't ax The Children First Program

Stop the proposed disbanding of funding for The Children's First Program. Don't risk moving these poor, at risk mothers and babies into the Child Welfare system.

Why is this important?

OK House Bill 1063 would disband a program that sends public health nurses into the home of poor, first-time mothers. As a nurse, I know this program contributes to healthy moms and babies but also cuts the risk of child abuse and neglect.
