“When I was pregnant, I felt I didn’t have anybody to lean on. I was so lucky to have a nurse like her.”
– Shanice, 17-year-old first-time mom
Nurse-Family Partnership helps first-time moms, just like you, prepare for the birth of your child and gives you the support you need to achieve your heart’s desire.
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.
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
To receive pregnancy help from the Nurse-Family Partnership program, you must:
- Be pregnant with your first child
- Meet income requirements
- Live within an area serviced by a Nurse-Family Partnership Implementing Agency
We ask that you contact us as early in your pregnancy as possible, so that we can answer your questions, help you prepare for childbirth, and support you as you go through the challenge of becoming a parent for the first time.
