Welcome to the Family Strengthening Network Summit 2024

Greetings, Family Strengthening Network teams!

We are very excited to celebrate you at our annual Summit on June 12, 9:00am – 12:30 pm!

This year’s theme is Rising Up to Meet the Moment: Honoring Progress, Shaping Tomorrow — and it is indeed amazing to see how you continue to rise up to meet the moment!

Home visitors, nurses, outreach specialists, hospital liaisons, managers and supervisors, data and admin coordinators — you all play a crucial role in building a stronger and healthier Los Angeles County. And because you’re helping kids get the best start in life, you’re not only making a difference now, but for generations to come. Your commitment to uplifting families and empowering our community really makes a big difference!

We sincerely appreciate you. That’s why we have these summits every year: to express our heartfelt gratitude for the important and inspiring work you do every day.

We also want to provide an opportunity for you to recognize your coworkers. Scroll down to give them a shout-out! (It’s not the reason you do it, but each shout-out you submit by 12:00pm on June 11, 2024, will give you a bonus entry in our Summit raffles. LABBN/F5LA/Work2Live staff not included.)

Thank you again for all you do to help families in L.A. County!

Sincerely,
LA Best Babies Network, on behalf of the Family Strengthening Oversight Entity

Dear Welcome Baby Team at PLCM,

As we come together for our final Home Visiting Summit, I want to take a moment to share my deepest gratitude and admiration for each of you. It has truly been an honor to work alongside such a compassionate, dedicated, and inspiring group of women.

Over the years, you have made a lasting difference in the lives of countless new families—offering support, comfort, and hope during some of their most vulnerable moments. Your selfless care, unwavering commitment, and genuine love for others have not only touched the hearts of the families we’ve served but have also been the foundation of what made our Welcome Baby Program so impactful.

You exemplify the values of Providence in every way—through your compassion, excellence, and service. I couldn’t be prouder of all that we have accomplished together, and I carry forward deep respect and appreciation for the work you’ve done.

You are, without a doubt, the absolute best!

With heartfelt thanks,
Laura Moller-Leon
