Becoming a mom for the first time can be a bit

overwhelming. No joke – there’s a lot to learn. So

imagine having your own personal nurse.

Nurse-Family Partnership can make that happen.

First-time moms who are less than 29 weeks

pregnant, meet income requirements, live in a service

area are eligible for free help from a personal nurse

who will come to your home to offer advice, support

and a good laugh when you need it most through

your pregnancy and until your baby is 2 years old.

If you wish to be referred to the Nurse-Family

Partnership Program, please contact our office at

970.565.4291. This program is offered through the

Montezuma County Public Health Department. 

Nurse-Family Partnership is a non-profit that

transforms the first thousand days of life for babies

born to moms living in poverty across the United

States. Beginning during pregnancy, and until the

child is two, nurses visit moms at home to educate

them on parenting, share resources, and perform

health checks. 

Congrats on your New Addition!
