The nurses in the Bright Start program partner with pregnant, first-time moms for as long as two years, often forming deep bonds with mothers, babies and the whole family.

Nurses visit clients in their homes and help with prenatal care, nutrition, home safety, health assessments, goal-setting, mental health, parenting education, accessing resources in the community and more. Services are free of charge.

Nurse Amanda received this heartfelt note from a client after the holidays.
