Nurse-Family Partnership® is a program for pregnant people who are having their first baby. Once you enroll, a registered nurse will visit you in your home or by telehealth throughout pregnancy and continue to visit until your baby is 2 years old. You and your nurse will decide the exact schedule of the visits to support your needs.

Nurse-Family Partnership is free to all eligible people.

Enrollment

Who can enroll? Any person who:

• Is pregnant with her first child or meets unique criteria for previous pregnancy/birth

• Is a Webb County resident

Nurse

My Nurse will help me:

• Have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
• Become a better parent.
• Build a strong network of support for me and my baby.
• Make my home a safe environment for my baby to live and play.
• Get referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training, and other support services available in my community.
• Find ways to continue my education and develop job skills.
• Set goals for my family’s future and find ways to help me reach them.

Partners/Father Participation

Can my partner, the father of the child, or the child's other parent participate too?

• Nurse-Family Partnership encourages fathers, family members, and even friends to be involved in the visits and learn how they can best support you.
• You and your nurse decide who gets involved.
• Because you are the one who carries the baby and you are the first person to take care of your baby, you are the one who is actually enrolled in the program, and you are the main focus of the nurse.
