Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a free health program for pregnant women who are having their first babies. Participants receive in-home visits from registered nurses throughout their pregnancies and until their children turn two years old. Nurses assist parents with providing responsible and competent care, engaging in good preventative health practices, and improving the economic self-sufficiency of the family.

Participants will receive support to have healthy pregnancies and healthy babies while learning how to become better parents. Nurses also provide referrals for healthcare, childcare, job training, continuing education and other support services.

NFP is implemented by the Louisiana Office of Public Health.
