Forsyth Connects was created from the Family Connects model, a nurse home visiting program of community-wide coordinated services as a preventive system of care to new parents with infants between the ages of 2-4 weeks of age. Over ten years ago it was first implemented as Durham Connects in Durham, NC from a collaborative effort and support between Center for Child & Family Health and the Duke Endowment. Resources are based on individually identified needs and family wishes.
