Public Health Nurse Family Partnership Program & Prenatal Care Coordination Program
The goal of the Nurse Family Partnership Nurse Home Visit Program is to improve pregnancy outcomes, child health/development, and the economic self-sufficiency of the family. A free personal nurse would meet with you during your pregnancy and after your baby is born—offering support, health information, help finding community services and so much more! The goal of the Prenatal Care Coordination Nurse Home Visit Program is to work with pregnant women facing challenges to have a healthy birth. Nurses follow families until the infant is 2 months old.
Both of the Nurse Home Visiting Programs are free and voluntary. We request that there is client interest and permission before making a referral. Clients do not need to be a legal resident and interpreter services are available for all clients. For more information and to access a referral form, see here.
