Mission Statement
Empower first-time mothers living in poverty to successfully change their lives and the lives of their children through evidence-based nurse home visiting.
Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
Nurse-Family Partnership is an evidence-based community health program that helps transform the lives of vulnerable mothers pregnant with their first children. Each mother we serve 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 the value that communities receive from this relationship – every dollar invested in Nurse-Family Partnership can yield more than five dollars in return.

Program Description:
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) focuses on 1st time mothers; during a 1st pregnancy the best chance exists to promote & teach positive health & development behaviors between a mother & her baby. Registered nurses deliver NFP fostering a powerful bond between nurse & mother. An NFP client begins with her nurse home visitor during her first trimester & continues through the child’s 2nd birthday. This intervention during pregnancy allows for any critical behavioral changes needed to improve the health of the mother & child. The NFP National Office provides intensive education for nurse home visitors who utilize Visit Guidelines, clinical consultation & intervention resources to translate NFP’s theoretical foundations & content into practice in an adaptable way to each family. NFP agencies enter data from visits into a Clinical Information System. This data is monitored to ensure the program is being implemented with fidelity to the research model, so comparable results are achieved.
Program Long-Term Success:
48% reduction in child abuse and neglect
56% reduction in emergency room visits for accidents and poisonings
59% reduction in arrests at child age 15
67% reduction in behavioral and intellectual problems at child age six
72% fewer convictions of mothers at child age 15
Program Short-Term Success:
1. Improve pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in good preventive health practices, including thorough prenatal care from their healthcare providers, improving their diets, and reducing their use of cigarettes, alcohol and illegal substances.
2. Improve child health and development by helping parents provide responsible and competent care.
3. Improve the economic self-sufficiency of the family by helping parents develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education and find work.
Program Success Monitored by:
More than 30 years of research from randomized, controlled trials conducted in three diverse settings demonstrate that when first-time mothers receive the guidance and support they need, both mother and child benefit.
Independent research makes clear that communities benefit socially and financially when they invest in NFP – a RAND study found that every dollar invested in Nurse-Family Partnership yielded more than five dollars in return.
As more states and communities adopt the Nurse-Family Partnership model, the National Service Office works to ensure that they adhere to the same disciplined approach in order to achieve comparable outcomes.
Program Success Examples:
Nurses guide at-risk, first-time mothers through the emotional, social and physical challenges experienced in preparing for a healthy birth.
The nurse continues to teach parenting, life and health skills to the mother once the child is born. This care and support continues through the child’s second birthday and fosters positive growth for the mother and child.
The relationship between mother and nurse empowers the mother and is proven to foster effective parenting skills and increase the likelihood of ongoing positive decisions long after Nurse-Family Partnership ends.
NFP can help break the cycle of poverty – empowered, confident mothers become skillful parents who are able to prepare their children for successful futures, and their children grow into healthy, productive citizens.
