Today we celebrate 35 years of Florida Healthy Start! π
Created on June 4, 1991 by Governor Lawton Chiles to improve birth outcomes and support healthy child development, the Florida Healthy Start program remains instrumental in reducing infant mortality and helping Florida families navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and the important early years of child growth and development.
We are grateful for the enduring support of the Florida Legislature, state agencies, and our community partners. Most importantly, we are grateful for the families who invite us into their homes and their lives and allow us the privilege of supporting them and their babies. π
