Family Connects

The birth of a baby is a time of vulnerability for a family – we can help with that.

Family Connects Mercer County provides a free in-home nurse visit all families giving birth at Capital Health – Hopewell and living in Mercer County, regardless of income or background.

Visits will be scheduled three weeks after a baby’s birth. The visit takes place in the family’s home. And the visit is made by a highly trained registered nurse.

The program is voluntary, and you will not be charged for the visit. The goal is for Family Connects to become part of a community’s care system for children and families.

We focus on sharing the joy of birth, checking on mom and baby, and assisting families with their immediate needs.
