Post Natal Nurse Home Visitor Program
Expert Post Natal Care in the Comfort of Your Home
Bringing a new baby into the world is an incredible experience, but it can also be overwhelming. At Parkland Health, we understand that new parents have a million questions and need a helping hand. That is why we offer personalized in-home visits with experienced and caring postnatal nurses.
About the Post Natal Nurse Home Visitor Program
The Post Natal Nurse Home Visitor Program at Parkland Health serves as a crucial touchpoint for families, offering support and resources tailored to their needs. Its universal approach aims to address the heightened demand for nurse home visits, particularly exacerbated by the challenges brought by COVID-19
Recognizing the importance of reducing maternal morbidity and mortality while striving for health equity, the program focuses on comprehensive assessments of both maternal and child well-being. Through regular home visits, registered nurses assess physical, social, and psychological health, providing necessary referrals and resources to promote overall wellness.
This evidence-based approach not only supports mothers and babies during the critical 12-week post-delivery period but also emphasizes education on crucial topics like breastfeeding, nutrition, and child development. By empowering mothers with knowledge and resources, the program aims to foster secure relationships between mothers and newborns, ultimately ensuring a healthy postpartum experience.
Eligibility for the program includes giving birth at Parkland and residency in Dallas County, with priority given to those not enrolled in other maternity nurse home visiting services. With a commitment to compassionate and culturally sensitive care, the program's mission remains clear: "Connect Families to Survive and Thrive," one visit at a time.
