DISCUSSION:
The Nurse-Family Partnership Program, Department of Health and Human Services - Public Health (DHHS - Public Health) is an evidence-based home visitation program which allows first-time, low-income mothers to receive home visits from a Public Health Nurse. The Nurse-Family Partnership Program has been shown to have positive impacts on child and maternal health, rates of child abuse and neglect, long-term birth rates, rates of incarceration, educational success, maternal employment and parental capacity.
The Wolff Family Trust has a history of donating $500 annually to Nurse-Family Partnership, DHHS - Public Health. These funds purchase client materials such as books and artwork supplies for projects that the Public Health Nurse completes with the client and child. Art projects include for example hand turkeys at Thanksgiving, and milestone footprint paintings. Books include Welcome Little One or One Small Step Can Save Your Life.
Accordingly, DHHS - Public Health recommends that the Board approve, and that the Board authorize the DHHS - Public Health Director, or a designee thereof, to accept this donation to Nurse-Family Partnership.
