The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires a contract for prenatal and early childhood home visiting services through an evidence-based home visiting services model for low-income families and prenatal mothers in the Southeast Region of the State of Missouri, including Butler, Dunklin, Pemiscot, Ripley, and Wayne counties. Southeast Hospital, now known as Mercy Hospital Southeast, through Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program funding, was designated to provide evidence-based home visiting model Building Blocks of Missouri/Nurse-Family Partnership® (NFP) Program services for low-income families and prenatal mothers in southeast Missouri. Southeast Hospital is the only entity in southeast Missouri that has been selected, approved, and trained by the NFP National Service Office (NSO) to provide services, according to the NFP home visiting model, and is the only entity in the Southeast Region that is providing NFP services with fidelity to the model, a requirement of the MIECHV Program grant funding. As a result, this represents a proprietary requirement that meets the criteria as a single feasible source under section 34.044 RSMo.
