The Army Family Advocacy Program(FAP) at Fort Gordon works with
the social workers and OBGYN staff at the Medical College of Georgia Hospital,
where military families deliver newborns. After delivery each family
receives a letter from FAP. Arrangements are made for home visits as
requested by MCG and EAMC staff.
Parenting classes are offered on a
regular basis.
