Community Postpartum Program is operated seven days a week from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Registered nurses provide support for mothers and newborns who reside in or are discharged to an address within the Brandon Health Unit limits.

A nurse will contact families by phone and/or visit them at home usually within 24-48 hours of leaving hospital. Depending on the family's needs they may have follow-up contact with the nurse for up to five days. At this point, the families are referred to their area Public Health Nurse who can provide further support. Breastfeeding is supported and encouraged.
