Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) helps change the lives of vulnerable first-time moms and their babies through ongoing home visits from registered nurses.
This evidence-based community health program has proven results including long-term family improvements in health, education and economic self-sufficiency. While helping low-income families, an investment in Nurse-Family Partnership saves communities more than it costs by reducing welfare, healthcare and juvenile justice expenditures.The Nurse-Family Partnership National Service Office, located in Denver, Colorado is a nonprofit organization that helps communities implement and sustain the program. Nurse-Family Partnership Implementing Agencies are supported by a team of public health policy and administration, nursing, education and program evaluation professionals at the NFP National Service Office who collaborate with Public/Private Ventures, based in Philadelphia, Invest in Kids, based in Denver, and other partners in the states where Nurse-Family Partnership is currently established.
