Yale New Haven Health announced they are ending one of their visiting nurse programs this June.
A spokesperson said Yale New Haven Health at Home-Southeast is stopping their Wellness and Nurse Family Partnership Program starting June 30.
"Any decision to change a service that has been provided to the community and involves employees is extremely difficult, but we need to focus on our core mission of caring for our patients in hospital and home settings," the spokesperson said.
The Nurse-Family Partnership Program helps first-time, low-income and other eligible mothers become successful and competent parents, according to their website.
The healthcare system said they are giving five months notice in an effort to allow human resources staff to help employees look for new positions.
