What is Heads Up?
CHIP of Roanoke Valley is hosting its inaugural Heads Up campaign, a peer-to-peer fundraising & marketing campaign led by creative, self-aware, and compassionate community leaders. Each participant has met a CHIP family while observing a home visit with CHIP staff.
The objective of this campaign is to raise awareness of the resilience and strengths of families in an effort to act in solidarity rather than saviorism.During the month-long campaign, each ambassador will raise or give a minimum of $1,000, which will be used to support the work of CHIP of Roanoke Valley.
Who are we?
Child Health Investment Partnership (CHIP) of Roanoke Valley is an early childhood home visiting program. CHIP of Roanoke pairs pregnant moms, low-income children, birth to first-grade entry, and their guardians with a Community Health Nurse and Family Case Manager to help them access needed medical services, to assist with the management of chronic conditions and to provide developmental education, kindergarten preparation and regular child assessment and monitoring. These services work to help build parenting confidence and to provide support to families as they set and reach goals moving toward self-sufficiency.
We also offer supplemental case management services that target specific needs: Prenatal Case Management, Health Care Coordination, Family Strengthening, Medically Needy & NICU Case Management, Oral Health Support, Asthma Case Management and Mental Health Counseling.
