CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Nurses for Newborns of Tennessee employs registered nurses to complete home-visits to a high-risk population. Our nurses utilize proprietary clinical guidelines and evidenced based screening tools and practices to improve the health and well-being for our families. Visits are recorded in our electronic medical record database and data reviewed for quality purposes. Nurses provide needed care in the transition from hospital to home and may continue services until the child's second birthday if needed. Nurses are the safety-net for their families. Partnerships and collaboration are important to meeting the many needs of our families. Working with others provides needed services and funding. Our four United Way Partners help support our visits and help us to network with other community groups. Community Foundations and State Grants are essential to our managing our resources. |
