Nurse-Family Partnership - Region 5 MIECHV, based in Deridder, LA, offers a vital, no-cost program dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of pregnant women and families with young children. As part of the Louisiana Department of Health’s Bureau of Family Health, our mission is to empower families through personalized support and coaching provided by experienced registered nurses and parent educators. We meet families in their own homes or preferred locations, offering essential services such as health education, positive parenting skills development, and assistance in achieving personal goals like education and employment. Participants gain access to invaluable resources that foster economic self-sufficiency, identify developmental delays early on, and ultimately lead to improved child health and development.
