Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP)
NFP is a home visitation program that improves the health, well-being and self-sufficiency of low-income, first-time parents and their children in El Paso and Teller counties. Our home visitations begin with women during pregnancy and continue until their child is 2 years old. NFP is free to all women who are eligible for Medicaid and WIC and meet other income requirements.

We'll give you some simple ways to start with a free packet of powerful tools. In Colorado communities throughout the state, we will meet you at home, your work or any other community setting that's easy for you.
