Nurse-Family Partnership of Missouri

Missouri adopted the Nurse- Family Partnership model and began serving the program’s first clients in 2000. Today, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services funds Nurse-Family Partnership programs in 17 counties, from east to west and on down to the Bootheel.

Nurse-Family Partnership is a rare Missouri charitycommunity health program that has been documented to achieve lasting and significant effects through multiple, well-designed randomized, controlled trials. More than 30 years of research proves that it works. This evidence shows our clients — low-income, first-time mothers — that if they follow the program and work with their nurse, they can transform their lives and the lives of their children.
