In 2012, the Nurse-Family Partnership began offering services in Baltimore City through the Baltimore City Health Department in partnership with Baltimore Medical Systems. Nurse-Family Partnership is one of the programs offered through B’more for Healthy Babies to reduce infant mortality in the city through programs that emphasize policy change, service improvements, community mobilization and behavior change.
