As the acting president & CEO of Nurse-Family Partnership, I am grateful for the opportunity to
lead the NFP National Service Office that supports implementing agencies serving vulnerable moms and babies across the country. It is challenging
work and will take all of us working together to
find strategies to reach more families in need so
that we can continue to impact population health and poverty.
In the wake of all the natural disasters that swept across the U.S. over the preceding months, I am in awe of the work our teams do for the families in
our program. From the massive hurricanes to the devastating fires, our nurses are in the field ensuring not only our families, but their entire communities, are safe and have the resources they need to move forward.
To celebrate the incredible
impact that all NFP nurses
and agencies are having
on NFP families, the NSO
would like to recognize
and support our amazing
teams. First, we launched
a new Recognition
Program to highlight
and share the
successes of
our nurse
home visitors, nurse supervisors, administrators and other NFP staff. We opened up nominations asking agencies for stories about why or how your colleagues went above and beyond to best serve our moms and babies. We received compelling stories, videos and photos; thank you for your submissions. The winner of this program will come to Denver this January for a special honor.
Second, after a hiatus, Nurse-Family Partnership’s National Symposium is coming back! We heard
loud and clear that this opportunity to connect, network and learn from each other once a year was very important to our teams. We administered a survey to agencies to collect feedback about preferences for the location and dates, as well as
the presentation topics. We will use this information to tailor an event to meet your needs and will continue to share updates about this exciting event in the months to come.
Thank you to each and every one of you for
your unwavering support of families in need.
Let’s grow this wonderful program that if done right, will continue to impact and strengthen
future generations.
Wishing you and yours a season filled with warm moments and cherished memories.
Gratitude for our Exceptional Teams
