Health Care Program For Children with Special Needs
Nurse Home Visitor Program

The Colorado Nurse Home Visitor Program (NHVP) provides grants to public or private organizations in Colorado to provide health education and counseling services by specially trained nurse home visitors to first-time, low-income women beginning in pregnancy and up to the child's second birthday. First-time mother is defined as having no previous live births and low-income is defined as up to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. Local grantees are implementing the Nurse-Family Partnership program that was developed and tested by the National Center for Children, Families and Communities at the University of Colorado at Denver Health Sciences Center.

Funding for the Colorado program is made available as a part of the state's Tobacco Settlement legislation. The intention of the legislation is that the program be expanded annually so that the services will be available to all eligible mothers in all parts of the state who choose to participate. The legislation also defines participant eligibility criteria and program responsibilities of the various involved agencies. Contracts and funds for Colorado sites are administered through the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
