In Oregon, nurses provide health care to newborns and their families at home

Family Connects Oregon is a program that brings nurses to the homes of newborns and their families, as NPR recently reported. It’s an opt-in service that aims to improve health and socioeconomic outcomes for parents and children. Family Connects continues to expand in Oregon and has visiting nurses in counties including Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington. We learn more about the service from Barb Ibrahim, a public health nurse for Jefferson County.
