“There are currently 36 families participating in Nurse-Family Partnership at Northwest Colorado Health in Routt, Moffat, Rio Blanco and Jackson counties. Each NFP expertly trained nurse guides the expectant woman to improve her prenatal care — helping the new mom to have a healthy pregnancy, improve birth outcomes and her child’s health and development.
The nurse also supports the new mom to become economically self-sufficient — encouraging her to continue school and pursue her career goals. By strengthening families, Nurse-Family Partnership sparks multigenerational change and helps break cycles of poverty.”
