Healthy Start Program

The Healthy Start Program is a federal initiative that provides support to pregnant women, new mothers, and young children from low-income families. It offers resources like nutritious food, healthcare referrals, breastfeeding support, and education about infant care to promote healthy pregnancies and child development. The goal is to improve health outcomes for mothers and babies, reduce infant mortality, and ensure children have a healthy start in life. The program often works through local community organizations that tailor services to meet the specific needs of their populations.
