Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership

Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership The Northern Manhattan Perinatal Partnership (NMPP) is a twenty-four year old organization and national Maternal Child Health leader. NMPP delivers critical health and social services to communities throughout the Borough of Manhattan located in New York City. NMPP’s work focuses on reduction of infant mortality and maternal mortality. Known as the “uptown area”, our service area ranges from 110th Street to the far tip of Manhattan to the North NMPP began in 1990 as a project of the New York Urban League (NYUL) to mobilize resources to reduce infant mortality through support to pregnant and parenting mothers and fathers. Presently NMPP houses six grant-funded programs, including a Head Start/ UPK program for young children. With an annual budget of over 7 million dollars, NMPP has grown from a small project of the NYUL to a nationally recognized agency employing over 100 paid staff. Harlem Remains a Tale of Two Cities NMPP is located within the bustling hub of Central Harlem just miles from the prewar building where Ralph Ellison wrote a part of the iconic novel Invisible Man. The charismatic pull of the world famous hub of Black culture and Latino culture remains a powerful draw even though the demographics of Harlem have dramatically changed over recent years. NMPP seeks to address by offering a broad range of free services to women, men and children free of charge. The staff of NMPP speaks English, Spanish, and French as well as Mandingo, Portugese, Swahili, Bambara, and Haitian Creole. While most of our programs serve families who reside in the Harlem and Washington Heights community, we offer more limited services to families living throughout Manhattan.
