Improving Lives Through the Nurse-Family Partnership

04/23/24 • 37 min

The UAB Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) works by having specially trained nurses regularly visit moms-to-be, starting early in the pregnancy and continuing after the baby is born. The goals of this program include improving pregnancy outcomes by helping women engage in good preventive health practices, improving child health and development by helping parents provide responsible and competent care, and improving the economic self-sufficiency of the family by helping parents develop a vision for their own future, plan future pregnancies, continue their education and find work. Today we have Dr. Karmie Johnson and Dr. Candace Knight joining us to talk about this amazing project.
