Maternity, Newborn Enriching the lives

and Pediatrics Program of families of children with
complex medical needs

For children up to the age of 18 who are facing
serious and complex medical challenges, VNSNY’s
Maternity, Newborn and Pediatrics (MNP) program is
often a critical lifeline. Working closely with families
and their physicians to ensure the best possible
outcomes, our MNP nurses, social workers, rehabilitation
therapists and home health aides provide high quality,
family-focused home care.

Our MNP care teams offer medical support for children
with a wide range of severe conditions, including prema-
turity, AIDS, seizure disorders, sickle cell anemia, cerebral
palsy, disabilities, childhood cancers, organ transplants,
neurological, respiratory, orthopedic and cardiac disorders,
and pediatric palliative care needs.

We also provide specialized clinical and home health aide
services for pregnant and postpartum women, treating
postpartum complications that include post-cesarean
wound care, as well as high-risk conditions during
pregnancy such as diabetes, pre-term labor,
hypertension and HIV/AIDS.
