💙 Building Strong Families Starts Here! 💙

Are you expecting your first baby? The Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) program at the Saginaw County Health Department is here to support you every step of the way! 👶🤰

NFP provides free, one-on-one support from a specially trained nurse throughout pregnancy and your child’s early years. Your nurse can help you prepare for baby, learn about healthy pregnancy and parenting, connect you with community resources, and support you as you work toward your goals for yourself and your family. 🌱💕

✨ You don't have to navigate pregnancy and parenthood alone.

If you're pregnant and interested in learning more about NFP, reach out to the Saginaw County Health Department to see if you qualify and get connected with our team.
