Nurse-Family Partnership® (NFP) is an evidence-based,
community health program that helps transform the lives of
vulnerable mothers pregnant with their first child. Each
mother served by NFP is partnered with a registered nurse
early in her pregnancy and receives ongoing nurse home
visits that continue through her child’s second birthday.
Independent research proves that communities benefit from
this relationship — every dollar invested in Nurse-Family
Partnership can yield more than five dollars in return.
