Our Story
Family Connects International (FCI) began in 2008 as a partnership between the Center for Child & Family Health and Duke University to support families with free, universal nurse home visits. In 2022, FCI became an independent nonprofit, expanding its reach and deepening its impact.
By integrating short-term nurse visits with community resources, FCI ensures families receive the support they need during the postpartum period. Today, we continue working nationwide to foster healthier outcomes for newborns and their families.
