Parenting

In 2019, Childrens Futures Nurse-Family Partnership program (NFP) served the perinatal needs of 152 clients, admitting 54 women.  This nationally-recognized program has helped expectant families and new parents, beginning before the birth of their first child, by paring them with nurses who provide home-based services to expectant families and new parents.

With regard to health outcome objectives, nearly all eligible NFP participants had health insurance. All clients were referred to a medical home. More than 70% of NFP moms entered prenatal care in the first trimester, 100% were screened for alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, depression, and domestic violence. Almost 100% of children had health insurance and medical home and more than 97% of the children were up-to-date with their immunizations, well-child health visits, and developmental assessments at the age of two.
