Project Healthy Grandparents (PHG), housed within the Lewis College, partners with grandparents who have taken on guardian roles for their grandchildren as an alternative to the foster care system. PHG aims to improve the health and well-being of families’ health and well-being in which grandparents are raising their grandchildren in parent-absent homes. PHG provides comprehensive health and support services and improved access to community resources. PHG has served 3551 individuals, including 1123 grandparents and 2428 grandchildren over its 27-year history. PHG’s comprehensive services include monthly home visitations by registered nurses and social workers, parenting education classes and support groups, legal service referrals, and early intervention services for young children. In many cases, referrals are made to other healthcare or community service providers, and transportation services are available. Project Healthy Grandparents helps keep families together and supports them in the journey.
