Babies First!
Nurse home visits for every family, pregnancy through age five.
Welcome to Oregon’s public health nurse home visiting program! We support children, parents, and caregivers, from pregnancy through your child’s fifth birthday.
Partnering with a Babies First! nurse can help your family identify needs that can be met, improve your child’s health outcomes, and offer educational and supportive resources.
During a Babies First! home visit, you and your nurse will work together to:
- Identify goals for health and wellness
- Connect you to helpful community resources
- Complete health screenings, including weighing your baby
- Problem solve and answer questions
- Provide support for healthy relationships
- Build a loving and fun relationship with your child
