Nurses for Newborns was established in St. Louis, MO, in 1991 by newborn nurse Sharon Rohrbach and Robin Kinney. After witnessing many infants returning to the hospital with life-threatening or fatal conditions, Sharon was determined to find out why these tragedies continued to happen in our community.<\/p>\n
Launching NFN out of her breezeway, Sharon gathered other maternal\/child nurses to help carry out its mission. By meeting babies and families in their own homes and environment, she soon recognized how both the lack of effective parental education and lack of services for special needs, premature, and other high-risk infants contributed to the region’s high rate of child abuse and infant mortality.<\/p>\n
Over time NFN grew into a nationally recognized, professional organization serving babies and families in 21 Missouri counties. In 2001 NFN successfully expanded services to Nashville, TN.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/nursesfornewborns.org\/missouri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/11\/Rohrbach.jpg” title_text=”Rohrbach” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_color_all=”#DD5061″ box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ background_enable_image=”off” background_size=”contain” background_position=”top_left” background_horizontal_offset=”10%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” background_last_edited=”on|phone” background_color_gradient_direction_tablet=”5deg” background_color_gradient_start_position_tablet=”40%” background_color_gradient_start_position_phone=”25%” background_color_gradient_end_position_tablet=”40.3%” background_color_gradient_end_position_phone=”25.1%” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_main_element_tablet=”background-size:75%!important;||background-position:bottom left!important;” custom_css_main_element_phone=”background-size:75%!important;||background-position:bottom left!important;”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” module_class=”custom_row” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”off|phone” max_width=”100%” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”second-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/nursesfornewborns.org\/missouri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/08\/pyg-left.svg” background_size=”contain” background_position=”center_left” custom_padding=”5%||5%|10%|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/nursesfornewborns.org\/missouri\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/family2-column.jpg” title_text=”family2 column” _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” max_width_tablet=”85%” max_width_phone=”90%” max_width_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ module_class=”vert-align first-on-mobile” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.1″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” max_width_tablet=”90%” max_width_phone=”90%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin_tablet=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||30px||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
