Nurse-Family Partnership of South Carolina
Thanks to the dedication of Nurse-Family Partnership, low-income, first-time parents living in South Carolina have a place to turn for support, care and help.
Through Nurse-Family Partnership, women pregnant with their first child are paired with a registered nurse trained to educate, encourage and support them through the first two years of motherhood. This approach has proven to counter risks to babies such as low birth weight, premature birth and developmental problems. Research shows that Nurse-Family Partnership produces positive outcomes for the entire family.
Why does it work? By empowering women to become the mothers and role models they want to be, Nurse-Family Partnership helps children get on a healthy path to success. With so many families in need, our supporters are dedicated to sustaining and growing the program’s reach within South Carolina. It's our vision to transform as many lives as possible as a South Carolina charity.
