HEALTHY PREGNANCY & PARENTING

NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHP

Nurse-Family Partnership is a national recognized program that provides free nurse home visitation to low-income, first-time mothers. With the aid of a personal nurse, new mothers learn about the growth and development of their baby, get the support they need to become more self-sufficient, and gain the confidence needed to provide the best care for their child. Mothers also enjoy the benefits of community play dates, parent training, mentoring, and access to community resources.
