For new mom and Danbury resident Marcia Valdes, a local program for first-time mothers and their babies has provided an invaluable support system. The town’s Visiting Nurse Association’s rising Nurse Family Partnership program has been around for about 40 years - starting in Colorado and making it’s way to Connecticut two years ago. “I love it,” Valdes said of the program. “It’s great because as a first-time mom, you have a lot of questions. You’re always concerned … things change because your life’s changed.”
