Building Bridges – Home Visitation

In November, 2013, the Nebraska Chapter was awarded a one year grant to Build Bridges between Home Visitation and Pediatrics in Nebraska. This grant follows a successful Phase I of the Building Bridges project in 2013, where the chapter made connections among Early Childhood Professionals and pediatricians. The grant will run through 2014.

Medication Administration Grant

In September, 2013, the Nebraska Chapter received an expansion of the Medication Administration Grant through the American Academy of Pediatrics. This grant provides for a 3 hour workshop focused toward health care workers in the child care setting on the proper administration of medication. Dr. Laura Jana is the Project Lead on this grant and conducts the workshops throughout the state.
