Spotlight on Our Vietnamese Home Visitors 

Becky Vo and Annie Nguyen (pictured above) are Vietnamese Home Visitors  

at MOMS Orange County.  

 

DID YOU KNOW, ORANGE COUNTY IS HOME TO THE LARGEST VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF VIETNAM?  

 

As frontline staff, Home Visitors are the eyes, ears, and voices of the organization's mission. Their knowledge, care and compassion lay the foundation in which a client's trust is built upon.
