Nurse-Family Partnership Program^®

A free home visitation program, nurses mentor income-eligible first-time mothers and provide education and support from early pregnancy through the child’s second birthday.

Through education and guidance, nurses talk with mothers about the medical, psychological, social and developmental aspects of being pregnant. They provide new mothers with support, education and counseling on health, behavioral and self-sufficiency until the baby reaches two years of age. Interested first-time mothers must enroll in Nurse-Family Partnership before 28 weeks gestation.

Since Home Nursing Agency began offering Nurse-Family Partnership in 2002, about 1,400 families throughout Blair, Cambria, Centre and Huntingdon counties have benefited from this free and voluntary program offering nurse home visitation.
