Nurse Home Visits for First-Time Mothers in Berks County
CHOR Youth & Family Services runs Nurse-Family Partnership in Berks and Schuylkill counties, a home visitation program that connects first-time mothers with specially trained registered nurses. The nurses give ongoing support through pregnancy and the early years of parenting to promote healthy pregnancies, improve child health and development, and help families become economically self-sufficient.
It is for first-time expectant mothers, and the support continues through the child's second birthday. Visits are personalized to each family, so parents can build a strong foundation for their child's future. The program is described as evidence-based.
Nurse-Family Partnership is one of the community programs that came to CHOR when Community Prevention Partnership became aligned with The Children's Home of Reading Youth and Family Services in 2023. Together those programs serve more than 2,000 individuals throughout Berks and Schuylkill County.
To ask about the program, call Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) - Berks at 610-376-6988, or Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) - Schuylkill at 484-772-2360. CHOR also lists 610-478-8266 as a general number for the agency and a contact form on choryfs.org for general inquiries, answered in 1 to 2 business days.
The rest is not published. The page does not say how to enroll, whether a referral is needed, what the program costs, or what hours staff can be reached, so ask about all of that when you call. No office address is listed for Nurse-Family Partnership; the visits take place in the home.
