Nurse-Family Partnership – Altoona

A free home visitation program, nurses mentor income-eligible first-time mothers and provide education and support from early pregnancy through the child’s second birthday. Through education and guidance, nurses talk with mothers about the medical, psychological, social, and developmental aspects of being pregnant. They provide new mothers with support, education and counseling on health, behavioral, and self-sufficiency until the baby reaches two years of age. Interested first-time mothers must enroll in Nurse-Family Partnership before 28 weeks gestation.
