Why Healthy Start is Essential for Maternal & Infant Health

Every baby deserves a healthy start, but across the U.S., maternal and infant health disparities continue to persist. Black and Indigenous women are 2-3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications, and preterm birth remains one of the leading causes of infant mortality (CDC Maternal & Infant Health).

What is Healthy Start?

Healthy Start is a community-driven initiative aimed at improving maternal and infant health outcomes by:

 ✔ Providing prenatal education and care access

 ✔ Supporting fatherhood and family engagement

 ✔ Addressing health disparities in underserved communities

Did you know? Since its launch, Healthy Start has helped reduce maternal complications and infant deaths in high-risk communities by providing culturally competent care (HRSA Healthy Start Impact Report).

The Time to Act is Now
