METROHEALTH LAUNCHES NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP
MetroHealth Medical Center has enrolled its first families in Cleveland’s new Nurse-Family
Partnership (NFP) program supported by a three-year, $1.2 million grant from the Mt. Sinai Health Care
Foundation. “Thirty years of research have provided evidence that NFP nurse home visits, beginning prenatally,
reduce infant mortality and have lifelong beneficial effects for both mother and baby,” said Foundation President
Mitchell Balk. “Mt. Sinai is proud to bring NFP to Cleveland with the help of MetroHealth and numerous public
and private funding partners.”
