Nurse-Family Partnership Program Celebrates 10 Years

Humboldt County, Ca. (KIEM) — Humboldt County’s Department of Health and Human Services’ Nurse-Family Partnership program is celebrating 10 years of working in the local community.

The program pairs nurses with income-qualifying first time mothers. Nurses make home visits beginning in early pregnancy and continue until the child’s 2nd birthday.

Currently, 104 families are enrolled in Humboldt County and 33 of them are awaiting the birth of their child. Since its beginning, nearly 230 families have graduated from the program.
