1st Five
1st Five is a public-private partnership bridging primary care and public health services in Iowa. The 1st Five program is a free and voluntary resource designed to support primary care providers in caring for children from birth to their 5th birthday. We partner with providers to implement developmental screening to identify social emotional and developmental delays as young as possible, as well as family risk related factors. Our intentional partnerships ensure that we stay updated on available community resources, allowing us to efficiently connect families to early intervention services while also following up on referrals and reporting back to providers, ultimately freeing up time for providers to focus on patient care.
American Home Finding Association’s 1st Five program accepts referrals from medical clinics in Appanoose, Davis, Jefferson, Keokuk, Mahaska, Marion, Monroe, Van Buren, and Wapello counties.
