The Nurse-Family Partnership Program
Pregnant for the first time?
The NFP can help you prepare for the birth of your child, and can give you the support you need to achieve your heart's desire.
As a first-time mom, you most likely have a ton of questions. That's why Nurse-Family Partnership starts working with you before you give birth to your child. By meeting with you as early in your pregnancy as possible, our nurse home visitors address your questions and concerns, prepare you for childbirth, and help ensure that you deliver a healthy baby. From helping you have a healthy pregnancy, to coaching you on child development, to empowering you to pursue your heart's desire, your nurse home visitor will always be there for you, so you can be there for your baby.
Nurse-Family Partnership is a free, voluntary program that partners first-time moms with nurse home visitors. When you enroll in the program, a specially trained nurse will visit you throughout your pregnancy and until your baby turns two years old. During these visits, your caring nurse will offer the knowledge and support you need to confidently create a better life for your baby and yourself.
In difficult situations...
Young women who become pregnant before they are ready to take care of a child see the risk factors for their entire family escalate—often resulting in poverty, conflict, and despair. Nurse-Family Partnership intervenes with a breakthrough solution: providing low-income, first-time parents with a relationship they can count on.
- A trusted, respected, and compassionate public health nurse visits the mom from pregnancy until the baby turns two years old.
And the mom and their baby are not the only ones who benefit. Communities and society as a whole have grown stronger thanks to Nurse-Family Partnership's commitment to achieving the following goals:
- Improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in good preventive health practices, including getting prenatal care from their healthcare providers, improving their diet, and reducing their use of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal substances
- Improve child health and development by helping parents provide responsible and competent care
- Improve the economic self-sufficiency of the family by helping parents develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education, and find work
