Nurse-Family Partnership

Nurse Family Partnership


family

Nurse-Family Partnership is an evidence-based, community health program with 45 years of research showing significant improvements in the health and lives of first-time moms and their children affected by social and economic inequality. Nurse-Family Partnership succeeds by having specially educated nurses regularly visit parents from early pregnancy through the child's second birthday. Birthing parents benefit by getting specialized care and support during pregnancy and their nurse becomes a trusted source on everything from child safety to taking steps to provide a stable, secure future for their family. Research consistently proves that the mom/nurse partnership is a winning combination that makes a measurable, long-term difference for the whole family.
