Baby Road Show |
The Healthy Start Coalition, with help from the March of Dimes, is offering local hospital labor and delivery units and OB/GYN offices a lunch and learn opportunity to find out more about positive maternal and child health support available in our community.
Because of the fast pace and full schedule that is routine at hospitals and physician offices, Healthy Start will be taking the show on the road. Healthy Start will schedule one-hour sessions for breakfast, lunch or light dinner. Dates are available to schedule between March 2007 and March 2008.
Topics to be discussed at the “Healthy Baby Road Show” will include:
|
- Community resources and issues
- Printed materials promoting healthy pregnancies and lifestyles
- Overview of the Healthy Start screening process
- Healthy Start screening rates
- Healthy Start programs and services
- Local birth statistics
