What is NFP?

A Free Program To Support First-Time Mothers And Their Babies.

Nurse-Family Partnership is a free program for new moms who are pregnant with their first baby. When you enroll in the program, you will be connected to a registered nurse who will provide the support, advice and information you need to have a healthy pregnancy, a healthy baby, and be a great mom. Your free personal nurse can help answer all your questions!

Once your baby arrives, your NFP nurse will work with you on breastfeeding, nutrition, child development, safe -sleep techniques, and much more.

These services are completely free of charge. You must be 28 weeks pregnant or less with your first baby and meet certain income eligibility requirements! Don’t forget that you can enroll as soon as you find out you are pregnant!
