Nurse-Family Partnership at CAP

The Community Action Partnership of Lancaster County is excited to welcome the Nurse-Family Partnership program on site to offer information about their program to first-time mothers to potential customers.

The Nurse-Family Partnership Nurse Home Visitors work with low-income women who are pregnant with their first child, helping these vulnerable young clients achieve healthier pregnancies and births, stronger child development, and a path toward economic self-sufficiency. Nurse-Family Partnership is a rare community health program that has been documented to achieve lasting and significant effects through multiple, well-designed randomized, controlled trials. More than 37 years of research proves that it works.

“There is a magic window during pregnancy…a time when the desire to be a good mother and raise a healthy, happy child creates motivation to overcome incredible obstacles including poverty with the help of a welltrained nurse.” — David Olds, PH.D., Nurse-Family Partnership’s Founder Professor of Pediatrics at University of Colorado
