  • For Parents

    Because babies don't come with an instruction manual, Welcome Every Baby Family Connects is here to fill in the gaps.

    The first few days and weeks home with a new baby can be a challenging time for all families, and research indicates that more than 90 percent of families can use some additional support. Welcome Every Baby Family Connects nurses are trained to answer your questions and connect you with the support you need. The program is simple — a registered nurse comes to visit around 3 weeks to check on mom, baby, and the whole family. There is no cost, and anyone can participate.
