Overview

The Society's Visiting Nurse Program has been supporting active duty and retired Navy and Marine Corps families since 1922. Our nurses provide health education and resource referral to promote health maintenance and continuity of care throughout the lifespan.

Our registered nurses help with:

  • Prenatal, infant, pediatric concerns
  • Chronic disease education
  • General health and wellness questions

Visiting Nurse Program

Our nurses visit families to answer questions and provide education on a wide range of health topics. For new parents, nurses may discuss things like breastfeeding and making sure babies are healthy and happy. They also provide baby weight checks. No matter your age, nurses will answer your questions about medications and medical care. If you’re a retiree, you can also talk to our nurses about your concerns, such as chronic medical conditions that can accompany aging.

Our nurses can work with your health care team to let them know how you’re doing between visits to your doctor. While visiting nurses do not provide emergency or bedside care, they can help you understand your options for taking the best possible care of yourself.

Our nurses can work with you to understand and achieve your health and wellness goals. Please check with your local NMCRS office to see what is offered in your area.

“Our nurse was awesome. She was super helpful and made sure we all felt comfortable in knowing that we could contact her with any questions or concerns. She provided very informative classes that left me feeling prepared."
