Parent Ambassador Vonda has a message for nurses during #NursesWeek ❤️️

'I came from the hospital setting to become an NFP nurse. I had no idea what an impact this role would make on me. I’ve had a lot of nursing jobs but this is the best one ever.' - Nurse Claire

Thank you to members of Congress for acknowledging the importance of National Nurses Week to recognize the contributions of nurses and encourage the people of the United States to observe the week in their communities! #NursesWeek nursingworld.org/news/news-rele…

We're so glad to see Committee on Health funding for $400K down payment toward Medicaid reimbursement of home visiting programs and $100K enhancement for Nurse-Family Partnership®. Thank you CM Christina Henderson and Brianne K. Nadeau for making this happen! 1/3

'Evidence-based prevention programs—like Nurse-Family Partnership, which offers free care to first-time pregnant people from nearby prenatal nurses—are critical for improving the health of families facing adversity.'

'I don't think I would be here if I didn't get that help.' A moving story about the impact nurses are having on first-time moms in the latest #MotherToBaby Podcast ep. 70 with Nurse-Family Partnership® momtobaby.org/NFPpodcast #nursesweek #thankanurse

Just how far do NFP nurses reach? Glad you asked! During #NursesWeek we celebrate each and every one of the 2,348 NFP nurses serving families and making an impact in their communities every day.

A statement from Charlotte Min-Harris, President & CEO of Nurse-Family Partnership and Child First:

Here is a #MHAM2024 reminder 💌 for new moms: As you care for your new baby, remember - their mom needs care too! 💝 Rest when you can and reach out to friends and family. Learn more ways to take care of yourself: samhsa.gov/find-support/h… #SelfCare

'My husband and I had an unplanned pregnancy with our first child, but a beautiful surprise. As novice parents, NFP was there to help us as a family. They were an incredible resource in many ways.'

Last week, a group of NFP nurses and graduates led two days of advocacy at the Michigan State Capitol! These advocates shared the impact home visiting has on families and communities with ten state legislators.
