Nurse-Family Partnership®
This voluntary program is for those expecting their first baby. Our program provides a personal nurse, guiding you from pregnancy through your child’s second birthday.
Creating a Safe Space to Grow a Family
As a first-time parent, you likely have many questions about your pregnancy, caring for a baby, and providing for your family’s needs. Each person enrolled is partnered with a registered nurse who will visit in-home or at a safe space throughout the pregnancy and up until the child is two years old. The relationship between nurse and parent promotes improved health, child development, and financial self-sufficiency.
