| Description: |
Public Health Solutions is a nonprofit organization that develops, implements and advocates dynamic solutions to prevent disease and improve community health. We conduct comprehensive research providing insight on public health issues, create and manage community health programs, and provide services to organizations to address public health challenges.
Programs of Public Health Solutions address critical public health needs such as maternal and child health, nutrition, access to health insurance, HIV prevention and care, and smoking cessation. For government agencies, nonprofit organizations and others, Public Health Solutions provides services to enable them to enhance their effectiveness and strengthen their capacity to have an impact and efficiently manage funds.
Our roots are in scientific research. We were founded in 1957 under the name Medical and Health Research Association of New York City to enable the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and other organizations to conduct health research to inform their work. Over the years, we saw an opportunity and a need to build upon this foundation of rigorous scientific research to link research and practice in dynamic ways to improve the health of communities. Today, as Public Health Solutions, we use research wherever we can to help illuminate critical public health issues and to design, implement and assess effective methods for preventing disease and improving health in New York City and beyond. |

The Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a wonderful place to work! We offer an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of first-time, low-income mothers and their babies. The NFP is a nationally recognized, evidence-based nurse home visiting program that has been rigorously tested and proven for over 25 years. Families served by the NFP enjoy significant improvements in pregnancy outcomes, parenting skills, and the family's economic self-sufficiency. Nurses visit families in their homes from early in the pregnancy until the child's second birthday.
Duties:
Nurse Home Visitors provide prenatal and early childhood case management through regular home visits to first-time, low-income moms and their babies. Each nurse carries a caseload of no more than 25 families (full-time.) The Nurse Home Visitor assesses the medical and social needs of the pregnant moms, and continues to do so for post-partum moms and their babies until the child's second birthday. The Nurse Home Visitor follows a prescribed process/plan of care, and monitors and documents the outcomes. The NFP program focuses on six domains:
' Personal health
' Environmental health
' Life course development
' Maternal role
' Family and friends (social support network)
