What is Nurse-Family Partnership?
Nurse-Family Partnership is a program for women who are having their first baby. If you enroll, a specially trained nurse will visit you in your home throughout pregnancy and continue to visit until your baby is 2 years old.
My nurse will help me:
- Have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby;
- Become a better parent;
- Build a strong network of support for me and my baby;
- Make my home a safe place for my baby to live and play;
- Get referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training and other support services available in my community;
- Find ways to continue my education and develop job skills;
- Set goals for my family’s future and find ways to help me reach them.
How much does the program cost?
Nurse-Family Partnership is FREE to all eligible women!
Who can enroll in the program?
Any woman who is:
- Pregnant with their first child
- Meets income requirements
You can join as early in your pregnancy as you like, but you must join before the 28th week of pregnancy.
“My nurse helped me set goals and made me see that I could do so many things. I could be there for my child and have my life as well.”
