HEALTHY PREGNANCY & PARENTING

NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

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.

WATCH TO LEARN MORE ABOUT NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIOP

“Nurse-Family Partnership has helped me shape my life. Before the program, I had no clue how I was going to get and keep my life on track. I have started school for cosmetology since NFP has helped me get my son into Early Head Start. He, too, has excelled and benefited from the program. We are grateful for Nurse-Family Partnership, and I will never forget the values and care that the program and the nurses have instilled. ”

“Before Nurse-Family Partnership, I was coping with being a single mom and not having a father do his part for our baby, Natalia. I wanted to improve my life and situation and not struggle like my mother did. I love working with my nurse, LaWanda, because I can get my questions answered about what’s going on with my body. I’m taking courses at GTCC so I can one day become a nurse."
