The Universal Nurse Home Visiting (UNHV) Nurse Home Visitor will provide home visiting services using the Family Connects model. The Family Connects model is an evidence-based and successfully demonstrated program that connects parents of newborns to the community resources they need through postpartum nurse home visits. As a community-based program, Family Connects supports new parents in caring for their newborn(s), offers physical assessments of the mother and the baby, addresses questions about caring for the newborn(s), identifies parents' needs, and helps to identify community services or resources that can meet those needs. In addition, through this connection to resources, Family Connects helps to identify gaps in critical community-wide resources with the goal of working toward increasing needed services locally. The Nurse Home Visitor will provide home visiting to all families with newborns in the determined catchment area. The goal is to support and assess family needs in 12 domains of physical and psychosocial well-being and facilitate referrals and connections to community agencies to support families in these areas. The home visiting nurse will work in a team environment of clinical and nonclinical staff in order to schedule, visit, and support families in the community using the evidence-based Family Connects home visiting protocol. This position is coterminous with project funding.
