Pregnant and postpartum women who live in San Francisco are eligible for one of our two programs. We encourage moms to enroll as early in pregnancy as possible to get an early start on a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.

Nurse Family Partnership Program is for women who are pregnant with their first child, in their first or second trimester (less than 28 weeks), and meets income requirements.

La Field Public Health Nursing Program is for all pregnant or postpartum women living in San Francisco, including those who already have children.

Our nurses speak multiple languages and can use interpreter services.

Nurse Home Visiting Programs are committed to provide quality health care and services for all San Franciscans, regardless of immigration or insurance status.
