Free Program Provides Hope and Support for Pregnant Women in Berks and Schuylkill Counties
The Nurse Family Partnership Program is just one of the many community programs we offer as part of the CHOR Youth and Family Services spectrum of care and was recently featured in The Mercury.
The Nurse-Family Partnership is an evidence-based community health program that helps transform the lives of vulnerable families expecting their first child. First-time, low-income mothers residing in Berks or Schuylkill counties are eligible for free, in-home services. Each mother is partnered with a registered nurse early in her pregnancy and receives ongoing nurse home visits that continue until her child’s second birthday. Berks County has the capacity to serve 291 families, and Schuylkill County has the capacity to serve 75 families.
