Healthy From the Start

Our SB6 initiative will focus on raising awareness about health care and insurance options for families, the importance of prenatal care, proper nutrition and physical activity, and appropriate health care in order for our children to possess the healthy minds and bodies required to learn and succeed. 

 

• Promoting prenatal care so children are born healthy
• Raising awareness of health & dental care services and immunizations for children
• Making sure that all families are aware of health insurance coverage availability
• Promoting early identification of developmental delays
