Nurses for Newborns is a home visitation program dedicated to reducing infant mortality by having registered nurses provide physical assessment, education, and positive parenting skills to at-risk families. We educate families on how to provide safe, stable, and nurturing environments for their babies. We also meet physical needs by providing families with donated items like diapers, pack ‘n plays, and formula. While Tennessee’s infant mortality rate is improving, it continues to be higher than the national average, largely in part due to preventable sleep-related deaths. In the last year, 100% of the families we served were taught safe sleep practices to increase the baby ’s chance of survival.
