The Children’s Health Improvement Partnership (CHIP) of New River Valley continually builds and maintains a network of local public/private partnerships to improve the health status of young children in need and to support and enhance their family’s ability to move toward self-sufficiency. CHIP builds on family strengths and promotes family empowerment.
CHIP assists low-income families with children through age 6, as well as pregnant women. CHIP provides medical and dental services and serves as a link to other human service providers in the NRV.
The CHIP model is unique in the New River Valley because it offers case management in the home, where children receive comprehensive care in a familiar setting.
Provided by a nurse and a home visitor team, CHIP provides parenting education and helps families make and keep appointments and follow physician recommendations. They also provide referrals to other community-based services to help meet the multifaceted needs of families. All services emphasize prevention and early intervention.
CHIP of New River Valley is funded by CHIP of Virginia, the United Way/Fund, the United Fund of Giles County, the Virginia Department of Social Services-Promoting Safe and Stable Families, foundations, private donations, and other local, state and federal funds.
CHIP Baby & Toddler Shops
Parenting can be hard work, and sometimes it’s a struggle to make ends meet. The CHIP Baby and Toddler Shops provide infant and toddler items – clothing, diapers, shoes, coats and more — at no charge to families living in Floyd and Giles. While parents do not need to be part of CHIP to shop here, volunteers encourage home visiting as a helpful resource.
When a family visits a CHIP Floyd or Giles Shop for the first time, the parent is invited to complete a short information sheet so that a CHIP staff member can contact them later about CHIP and other available resources in the community.
Donations and Volunteers Needed!
Baby and Toddler Shops rely on contributions of items for the healthy development of infants and young children. Items needed include diapers, baby wipes, diaper rash cream, baby wash and lotions. If you would like to donate to the Shops or volunteer, contact our CHIP office at 540-633-5133 ext. 501.
