The First Born Program provides mothers, fathers, and primary care providers with education and support to encourage normal growth and development of happy, healthy babies in positive, nurturing families.

The First Born Program builds family and community relationships by supporting the idea that a healthy pregnancy and childhood are not only critical to the immediate well-being of the child but are also a basic to building a resilient family and healthy community.

Services are provided in the home or other suitable locations and occur weekly or as often as needed to meet family goals. Services are delivered by a staff diverse in age, culture, ethnicity, language, education, experience and economics. The staff is an effective combination of degreed professionals (registered nurses, clinical counselors) and non degreed professionals who provide support, education, assessment, referral and advocacy. At the core of any successful home visiting program are relationships because all human development occurs both through and within relationships.

In addition to First Born Home Visiting services, all first-time families will be offered a postpartum home visit by a nurse. The visit with the First Born Nurse includes a clinical assessment of mom and infant, family support and education, screenings, and referrals as necessary.
