Nurse Family Partnership

The Nurse Family Partnership is an evidence-based prevention program that helps first time mothers during pregnancy and after the baby is born. The program is provided by Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital and Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic.

A specially trained nurse works with the mother during pregnancy and through the baby's second birthday.

Nurse-Family Partnership helps build better parents

The nurse helps first time parents learn things like:

  • How to be healthy so the baby is born healthy
  • How to be the best parent for the new baby
  • How to plan a vision for her future, including future pregnancies, education and work

During the program, moms and nurses may talk about things like:

  • Health and child development
  • Making the home a safe place for a baby
  • Setting goals for life
  • How to access services that are available
  • Build a strong network of support for themselves and their baby.

Services are covered by local agency funding, medical coupons and state/federal grant.

Referrals must be received before 28 weeks gestation.

Referrals can be made by primary care providers, community agencies, and individuals by contacting Children's Village at 509-574-3200 or 1-800-745-1077.
