About NYC Nurse-Family Partnership
Are You Pregnant with Your First Baby?
NYC Nurse-Family Partnership (NYC NFP) is a program for new mothers that provides support, guidance and information to help you become the best mom you can be. As a first-time mother, you will be connected to your own personal nurse who will be there with you to support you through your pregnancy and in your new role as a mother. Your nurse will answer your questions, listen to your concerns and offer useful information so you can have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
NYC NFP serves pregnant women and girls and is available at no cost to you and regardless of your immigration status or that of anyone in your family.
Who can sign up for the program?
- Women or teens in New York City who are pregnant with a first baby and meet low-income requirements can participate.
- You can participate whatever your age or immigration status.
- You can participate as early in your pregnancy as you like but no later than your 28th week.
