Nurse-Family Partnership of Delaware

Delaware has historically had one of the highest infant mortality rates in the nation. That's why community leaders saw a need for a program such as Nurse-Family Partnership.

Delaware's infant mortality rate was recently reported as 8.5 per 1,000 births. Teen birth rates are also high. These reasons and others compelled Children & Families First, a statewide nonprofit agency dedicated to helping families develop solutions to meet challenges and embrace opportunities, to launch the first Nurse-Family Partnership as a Delaware charity in 2010. The team of NFP Nurse Home Visitors currently provides services to families in New Castle and Kent counties.
