MapNortheast Florida Healthy Start
In Northeast Florida, too many babies die from preventable causes and lack of health services. The Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition leads a cooperative community effort to reduce infant mortality and improve the health of children, childbearing women and their families in Northeast Florida.
Healthy Start is a voluntary educational and supportive program designed to assist pregnant women and families with children under age 3. Our goal is to promote healthy pregnancies, positive birth outcomes, and healthy growth and development for infants and toddlers.
