Jill Erickson provided information for charity work to the Nurse Family Partnership Organization that some of our charity contributions support.
Nurse-Family Partnership empowers first-time moms to transform their lives and create better futures for themselves and their babies. Nurse-Family Partnership works by having specially educated nurses regularly visit young, first-time moms-to-be, starting early in the pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday. This is a non-profit organization that provides network partners across the country that provides the information, support and specialized education they need to properly implement Nurse-Family Partnership and produce the same successful results that have made the program a national model.
