Nurses For Newborns Founder Wins $100,000 Purpose Prize

Sharon Rohrbach, founder of Nurses For Newborns Foundation (NFNF), whose agency has won accolades from Oprah Winfrey to the White House, is one of five recipients of the $100,000 Purpose Prize given out by Civic Ventures, a San Francisco-based think tank that honors baby boomers as "social innovators."  Rohrbach, along with the other award winners, will be honored during a ceremony at Stanford University in November.  NFNF, a Children's Trust Fund (CTF) prevention partner based in St. Louis, provides over 16,000 home visits annually to at risk children and their families using specialized registered nurses.  Rohrbach began the Foundation in 1989 with the first CTF grant being awarded in 1990. Since that time, NFNF has expanded into 27 Missouri counties and 21 counties in Tennessee.
