Take the Next Step in Making a Difference
Every family deserves the opportunity to thrive, yet many parents begin their journey with a newborn lacking essential support. Family Connects International (FCI) is here to make a difference. Since 2017, FCI’s evidence-based, universal nurse home visiting program has reached over 100,000 families, providing in-home clinical care and connecting parents to crucial community resources. Currently, FCI is empowering families in over 60 communities across 21 states, and with your support, FCI can extend this life-changing intervention to even more families nationwide.
By identifying risks early, facilitating access to care, and providing education and support, FCI’s program is dedicated to saving lives and fostering long-term health for both parents and their families.

Families participating in Family Connects programs experience a 50% reduction in emergency medical care for their infants in the first year of life.

Healthier Mothers
Mothers involved with Family Connects experience a 30% reduced likelihood of facing postpartum depression or anxiety. They are more inclined to complete their 6-week postpartum health check, feel more confident and responsive in their parenting roles, and benefit from receiving various medical assessments to support their overall health and well-being.
3
Safer, Smarter Spaces
Families implemented simple changes in their homes to create safer, more nurturing, and stimulating environments for their infants.

Connections To Resources
Family Connects has successfully facilitated over 185,000 referrals to community services, bridging families to the essential resources they need to flourish.

Universal Access
FCI ensures every family receives the support they need by offering free, voluntary nurse home visits.

The fourth trimester can be a joyful time, but it may also introduce stress or medical complications for both the postpartum parent and their infant.

The Need
The United States has the highest maternal mortality rate among developed nations, with two million women of childbearing age living in maternity care deserts. Most pregnancy-related fatalities happen postpartum, and many of these tragedies are preventable. Family Connects International’s program targets vital services designed to help reduce this alarming rate.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT, FCI CAN:
- Extend our reach to underserved communities, ensuring optimal outcomes for every newborn.
- Equip more healthcare providers to deliver compassionate, in-home care to families in need.
- Enhance partnerships with local organizations to provide comprehensive support that meets each family’s unique needs.

Support Newborns and Their Families
Your generosity can help transform the crucial early days of a family’s journey. With your investment, FCI can continue to provide free, voluntary nurse home visits that empower parents, promote healthier communities, and ensure every child receives the strong foundation they deserve.
TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE THAT LASTS A LIFETIME
