Illinois Health Connect would like to congratulate the Chicago South Side Nurse-Family Partnership on the highly successful start of this initiative that works to improve the health, behavior and independence of the families involved.
The Chicago South Side NFP has filled 55 of its 100 client openings as of May 24.
NFP is an evidenced-based community health program, which focuses on intensive home visits with vulnerable mothers who are pregnant with their first child. The home visits continue though the child's second birthday as the Chicago South Side NFP provides education, support and guidance.
IHC assisted the Chicago South Side NFP with raising its profile in the South Side communities through a provider outreach campaign. We look forward to a continued partnership with the Chicago South Side NFP as well as working with other local initiatives.
The Chicago South Side NFP will host a celebratory Jazz Brunch to benefit its program on June 8. The brunch will be held at Parkway Ballroom (4455 S. King Drive). Tickets are $50. For more information, contact Shena Manning of the Young Women's Health Initiative at 773-891-2500.
