Nurse-Family Partnership of Tennessee

In Tennessee, the necessity of programs such as Nurse-Family Partnership is great, as the state ranks in the lowest quartile for overall child health. Infant mortality, low birth weight, and poverty rates are all high.  

Today, Nurse-Family Partnership serves vulnerable young families in Blount, Campbell, Knox and Shelby Counties. Public and private funding and support enables these Tennessee charitable services.

Nurse-Family Partnership Nurse Home Visitors work with low-income women who are pregnant with their first child, helping these vulnerable young clients achieve healthier pregnancies and births, stronger child development, and a path toward economic self-sufficiency. Nurse-Family Partnership is a rare community health program that has been documented to achieve lasting and significant effects through multiple, well-designed randomized, controlled trials — including one trial conducted in Memphis. More than 30 years of research proves that it works.
