We know a nurturing relationship is so important for the healthy development of infants and young children. Each of us has an opportunity to give more children a chance to live a healthy life.

A child’s surroundings have a powerful impact on their health and potential, and effects can be lifelong. That’s why we must reach beyond our hospital walls to help build communities that keep children healthy, happy, and safe.

Healthy Kids includes a wide range of prevention initiatives. Our Home Visiting Program, based on the nationally recognized Nurse-Family Partnership model, matches at-risk, first-time moms with a visiting nurse, providing support during her pregnancy and the first two years of her baby’s life. Through Adverse Childhood Experiences screenings, or ACEs, we can identify children who have experienced trauma and adversity in their surroundings and connect them with treatments to dramatically reduce their risk of future illness.

Together we will create something remarkable — a model health system focused on lifting an entire generation of kids — keeping them healthy, safe, and out of the hospital in the first place.
