Callouts

• Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System’s Nurse Family Partnership Program (NFP), showcased on The TODAY Show in September, is an evidence-based community health program, which aims to transform the lives of Medicaid-eligible mothers who are pregnant with their first child. Each mother is partnered with a registered nurse early in her pregnancy and receives ongoing care through her child’s second birthday through a combination of virtual and in-person visits. Nearly 2,200 telehealth visits were conducted through the NFP program in 2022. Hear from an enrolled patient.
