NFHV Borough Manager, Bureau of Maternal Infant and Reproductive Health

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) is expanding home visiting in NYC and streamlining how providers, organizations, and community residents can access quality home-visiting services. The goal is to improve maternal and child health and well‑being by matching families’ assessed risks to evidence-based (EB) or evidence-generating (EG) home‑visiting (HV) models that are most appropriate for them.

DOHMH’s New Family Home Visits (NFHV) program will serve families from pregnancy through the postpartum period. The NFHV builds on the success of the Newborn Home Visiting Program established in 2004 and supports a call to action by the Mayor’s office Taskforce on Racial Inclusion & Equity (TRIE); these are neighborhoods and communities burdened by adverse maternal and child health outcomes.
