Help us keep new moms connected with their nurses through Nurse-Family Partnership
Part of our ongoing series this month to support local charities is our focus on Nurse-Family Partnership. Nicole is joined by Michelle Warner from Nurse-Family Partnership in Colorado. Their home visiting program has been greatly affected by COVID-19. They have moved to 100% telehealth. Many of their clients don't have cellphone access. They have lost all access to their nurse at the most critical time in their lives - when they are preparing to have a baby. It's such an isolating time, but without a partner, alone, pregnant it's even more isolating. Anything we can do to help them is appreciated.
Verizon is donating up to 3800 phones across the country. Nationally N-FP has committed $500,000 to minutes to help these moms stay connected to have access to the social support they need. This was completely unbudgeted since it was so unexpected. They are turning to people to make donations to contribute to this cause.
