Nurses for Newborns helps families who are most at risk of experiencing trauma in their infant\u2019s first year of life through our proven home visitation program to prevent infant mortality, child abuse and neglect. We send specially trained pediatric nurses to the homes of pregnant women or parents with infants who face medical, social, or environmental risks; additional support is provided by our Licensed Clinical Social Worker. We meet families where they are \u2014 whether in the home, transitional housing, or a residential recovery center \u2013 eliminating transportation and childcare barriers to receiving care. Guided by evidence-based clinical practices, our Registered Nurses and LCSW provide core services during home visits, including:<\/p>\n
We provide prenatal visits to expecting moms and postpartum visits to the family following delivery and returning home. We can provide free services if the infant is between 0 and 2 years of age as needed. We also utilize interpretation services through medically certified interpreters to help serve our entire community and, if needed, have a nurse on call 24 hours a day for our clients.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” _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%” background_vertical_offset=”0%” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||0px||false|false” background_last_edited=”off|desktop” background_color_gradient_start_position_phone=”30%” background_color_gradient_end_position_phone=”30.3%” background_image_phone=”https:\/\/nursesfornewborns.org\/tennessee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/08\/gyp-left.svg” background_enable_image_phone=”on” background_image_width_tablet=”0%” background_image_width_phone=”0%” background_image_height_tablet=”90%” background_image_height_phone=”90%” background_position_phone=”top_left” background_horizontal_offset_phone=”10%” 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:80%!important;||background-position:bottom left!important;”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” 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=”||0px||false|false” 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\/tennessee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/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\/tennessee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/10\/Positive-Outcomes.jpg” title_text=”Positive Outcomes” _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
