COLUMBIA, Tenn. — Maury Regional Health Care Foundation partners with a variety of organizations to improve the health of at-risk and underserved populations in southern Middle Tennessee. Among them is Nurses for Newborns of Tennessee.
The mission of Nurses for Newborns is to provide home-based services to promote the health, safety and well-being of babies and their families, reducing infant and maternal mortality in Middle Tennessee. Through their home visitation program, a team of registered nurses and licensed social workers deliver critical services, including physical and mental health assessments, education and positive parenting guidance. They also provide essential items like diapers, portable cribs and formula to ensure families have the resources they need to succeed.
Services are offered at no cost to families and are referral-based, ensuring that care reaches those who need it most — including medically fragile infants, teenage parents and mothers facing physical health, mental health or substance use challenges.
Maury Regional Health Care Foundation’s support helps ensure that families in Maury County continue to benefit from this life-changing program. Nurses for Newborns has served families in Maury County for more than 10 years. In their 24 years of service in Middle Tennessee, Nurses for Newborns has provided 78,615 free home visits to 10,650 families.
Through their partnership, the Foundation and Nurses for Newborns help ensure that every family — regardless of financial barriers or medical challenges — has access to early support, parenting education, health screenings and critical interventions during the most formative years of a child’s life.
