What is Family Connects?

All families can use support after the birth of a child.  Family Connects is a universal newborn home visiting program in Lincoln-Lancaster County that provides a home visit by a Registered Nurse following your hospital stay. Friendly and knowledgeable nurses are here to lend a helping hand, to listen and answer questions and provide support and resources for families to get their children off to a healthy start.

Some of the key areas covered in a visit include:

  • Head-to-toe health assessment for baby
  • Postpartum health assessment for mom
  • Breastfeeding support
  • Education and guidance about topics relevant to all newborns and maternal needs
