Budget Outline Creates Nurse Visitation Fund
Obama's budget blueprint calls for $8.5 billion over the next 10 years to create a nurse home visitation program, "which will provide funds to States to provide home visits by trained nurses to first-time low-income mothers and mothers-to-be." The budget also "builds the foundation for a program that could ultimately serve all eligible mothers who seek services." |
