Nurse-Family Partnership® at Texas A&M


Nurse-Family Partnership® at Texas A&M supports first-time mothers by offering specially trained nurses to regularly visit vulnerable moms to be, starting early in the pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday.

Empowering vulnerable first-time moms to transform their lives and create better futures for themselves and their babies is at the heart of Nurse-Family Partnership®, a nationwide community health program. Research consistently proves that Nurse-Family Partnership® succeeds at its most important goals: keeping children healthy and safe and improving the lives of mothers and their babies.

Specially trained registered nurses support first-time mothers through FREE, regularly scheduled home visits with moms-to-be, starting early in the pregnancy and continuing through the child’s second birthday. With an emphasis on low-income, first-time moms, women voluntarily enroll as early as possible but must elect to do so in advance of their 28th week of pregnancy in order to participate.

 
Our nurses help guide first-time mothers residing in Brazos Valley - the region that includes Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson and Washington counties - through the emotional, social and physical challenges they face as they prepare for a healthy birth. Prenatal support is the starting point, but the nurse continues to provide support post-delivery, helping the new mother and child by enhancing knowledge gains and teaching skills that foster positive growth.

Empoderar a las madres primerizas vulnerables para que transformen sus vidas y creen un futuro mejor para ellas y sus bebés es el propósito de Nurse-Family Partnership®, un programa de salud comunitario a nivel nacional. Las investigaciones demuestran consistentemente que Nurse-Family Partnership® logra sus objetivos más importantes: mantener a los niños sanos y seguros y mejorar las vidas de las madres y sus bebés.
 
Enfermeras registradas especialmente capacitadas apoyan a las madres primerizas con visitas al hogar GRATUITAS y programadas periódicamente con las futuras mamás, desde las primeras etapas del embarazo hasta el segundo cumpleaños del niño. Con énfasis en las madres primerizas de bajos ingresos, las mujeres se inscriben voluntariamente lo antes posible, pero deben elegir hacerlo antes de la semana 28 de embarazo para poder participar.
 
Nuestras enfermeras ayudan a guiar a las madres primerizas que residen en el Valle de Brazos, la región que incluye los condados de Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson y Washington, a través de los desafíos emocionales, sociales y físicos que enfrentan mientras se preparan para un parto saludable. El apoyo prenatal es el punto inicial, pero la enfermera continúa brindando apoyo después del parto, ayudando a la nueva madre y al niño mejorando los conocimientos adquiridos y enseñando habilidades que fomentan un crecimiento positivo.

How to Enroll

First-time mothers that are within their first 28 weeks of pregnancy and are considered low-income may be referred by their obstetrician, may self-enroll or may be directed by an advocate as a recipient of state-funded health benefits including CHIP or Medicaid.
 
Each of our registered nurses are able to serve 25 to 30 first-time mothers and their child within the Brazos Valley, a region that includes Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson and Washington counties.
