How your donations help

​The Healthy Start Coalition’s mission is to reduce infant mortality with your help we can do just that. We offer a wide array of education and support services including programs that help pregnant women access medical care, provide needed equipment to at-risk infants, and support to bereaved families
​
Century Health Clinic:
Lack of early and consistent prenatal care can lead to poor birth outcomes including preterm delivery, low birth weight babies, and birth defects. Our Clinic in Century, Florida, addresses the needs of a rural community by providing quality pediatric and obstetric health care and nutrition counseling within walking distance. We currently serve nearly 150 women and young children in our clinic every month.


Every $100 raised can provide a sturdy stroller to a mom who walks to her appointment.
​
Safe Sleep Survival Kits:
Unsafe sleep environments are one of the leading causes of infant death in the United States. The Coalition’s Safe Sleep Kits provide vulnerable families with the education and equipment needed to provide a safe sleep environment for their baby. Our Safe Sleep Survival Kits include a portable Pack n Play, fitted sheet, Halo sleeper, educational materials, and hands-on instructions.


Every $100 raised can provide a Safe Sleep Survival Kit for a baby who does not have a safe place to sleep.
​
Grief Counseling and Support:
Unfortunately some families suffer the heartbreak of losing a child. Specially trained social workers and therapists can help families navigate their difficult journey from the time of diagnosis through the tender end of life. We also provide families with grief support kits which include a memory box, journal, and other supportive materials.


Every $100 raised can provide up to an hour of professional counseling or two families a grief support kit.

Every baby deserves a Healthy Start. Thank you for your donation.
