Smart Start Partnership for Children (SSPFC), a local early childhood nonprofit, launched Family Connects Henderson County in October 2021 as a pilot offering virtual nurse home visits to families with newborns. Our community has such amazing resources for families, and we are excited to connect families to the things they need so early in their child’s life,” said Kelly Hart, Program Director and Family Connects Henderson County Site Administrator at SSPFC. Participating families will receive a tele-health visit from a registered nurse who addresses newborn and postpartum health concerns, responds to immediate needs for support such as breastfeeding and home safety, links families to community services and helps new parents learn to better connect with their infants.
