Home Visiting Services For First Time Moms - Nurse-Family Partnership

View / Download

The goal of NFP is to improve pregnancy outcomes: healthier moms who deliver healthier babies.  NFP pairs first-time parents with a registered nurse to support them throughout their pregnancy until their baby is two years old. Nurses provide moms with the advice and information they need to have a healthy baby and be a great parent. Families also receive case management support to help them with housing, education, employment, childcare, and more until their baby reaches five years old. 

Nurse-Family Partnership is an international, evidence-based program, widely researched and recognized for improving health and social outcomes.
For women living in La Porte County, Indiana,
