Family Connections is a team of nurses, social workers and early childhood educators who offer resources and programs for pregnant and parenting families in North Iowa. We provide comprehensive home visits for residents of Cerro Gordo, Hancock and Worth counties as well as parent education classes available for individuals in all counties. We are a listening ear and a helping hand.
Who We Serve:
As a part of MercyOne North Iowa’s Birth Center and Pediatric Unit, we are here to help you before and after your delivery; all the way until your children are five years old, if needed. You may enroll in our program at any time during your pregnancy or your children’s first five years.
For Pregnant Families
For Parenting Families
Family Connections has been serving families in North Iowa for the past 18 years and is completely funded by grants and donations. Please help us continue to serve North Iowa families for many years to come.
“As a RN in the Birth Center, I see Family Connections as an important part of ensuring our new babies are transitioning home with parents who are ready to parent. My only wish is that more families used this program…it offers great opportunities for families to learn how to care for their children so they have the best possible start.”
—Karen, RN
“I can honestly say, if I didn’t have Family Connections to support me during my son’s first 3 years, I would not have been a successful parent. Family Connections taught me parenting is an honor and how lucky I am to be a mother. I learned how to nurture my son and gain confidence in myself.”
—Sarah, Parent
