Nurse Family-Partnership


The Nurse-Family Partnership is a program which can help you and your
child begin a healthy life.

Taking good care of yourself, preparing for childbirth and then caring for
your new baby is challenging!  We believe it will also be the most
important and satisfying work you will ever do.

The goal of the Nurse-Family Partnership is to support you through your
pregnancy and the first two years of parenting.  Nurse-Partners are
specially trained registered nurses willing to provide positive support and
education for you to help you be the best parent you can be.

You are invited to enroll for a Nurse Partner if you are expecting your
first child and have a limited income.

Families who are eligible for the Nurse-Family Partnership receive:
• Home visits during your pregnancy and after the birth of your baby.
• Answers to your questions about pregnancy, labor and delivery.
• Information about baby and early child care.
• Support for family needs and links to community resources.
• Educational gifts and books.
