What is Nurse-Family Partnership?


Nurse-Family Partnership is a free program for people who are pregnant with their first baby. 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 nurse will offer the knowledge and support you need to confidently create a better life for your baby and yourself.

How can a free, personal nurse help me?

A ​nurse can help you: 

  • Have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.

  • Become the best parent you can be.

  • Learn and practice things that make you more confident as a parent, like breast/chestfeeding, nutrition, child development, safe-sleep techniques, and much more.

  • Get referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training, and other support services available in your community.

  • Continue your education, develop job skills or follow your dreams for the future.
