Our Team of Nurses
Our team of nurses knows how to support families right after the baby’s
arrival. With years of experience caring for newborns and birthing parents,
they help each family find solutions and resources that work for them.
For immediate concerns, our nurses can connect with expert colleagues during
the visit and will help a family determine when to contact their own or
the baby’s health care provider.
Our nurses are experienced in caring for newborns and birthing parents.
We support your healing and the essential bonding between newborns and
their families.
We invite you to explore our recommended
online learning playlists and libraries for trusted, easy-to-understand education. Just type in a topic that you
would like to learn about.
The Frederick Health Family Connects Program came to fruition through collaborative
efforts of the
Coalition for a Healthier Frederick County's Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Workgroup to research, identify
and secure funding for an evidence-based practice to reduce and prevent
ACEs in our community.
