Program Outcomes - Background

Nurses for Newborn's mission is to provide a safety net for families most at risk; to help prevent infant mortality, child abuse and neglect through home based programs that provide education, healthcare and positive parenting skills. We have a long history of success, demonstrated both by baby stories and the power of our database software to generate sophisticated statistics.

The figure to the right indicates our growth history in terms of the number of annual visits made by our nurses. Although NFNF was originally started in the early 90s, the number of visits really took off after 1997. Below you will find a sample of some of the outcomes and risk factors that we collect and measure. You are also welcome to download Adobe Acrobat files with our complete latest outcomes. Our database itself has received national attention with presentations in Boston, San Diego and Denver...
