Jessica Thurmond Jurgensen, Co-Founder of Vita Nova Maternity Community, spoke with Mike Hogan on “Live & Local” and discussed their comprehensive program which is designed to empower women to become independent in a nurturing and safe environment. She spoke of their compassionate staff and how they offer support and assistance through core curriculum, goal setting, and case management.
Jessica also talked about the beautiful, sprawling campus which is home to two dormitories for pregnant women and young mothers as well as apartments for Vita Nova alumni. Vita Nova supplies expectant mothers with safe, clean housing, food, childcare and educational opportunities. Located near several large employers, Vita Nova also helps women access quality job opportunities.
