Raising the Bar as We Continue to Raise Awareness
The National Healthy Start Association and Healthy Start projects have been up to some exciting things in recent months. September was Infant Mortality Awareness Month, and 2011 marks the 20th Anniversary of the federal Healthy Start Initiative. NHSA recognized this anniversary with the creation
of Saving Our Nation’s Babies: The Impact of the Federal Healthy Start Initiative, a publication chronicling the birth of Healthy Start and NHSA that includes profiles and photographs for over 80 of the federally funded Healthy Start Projects.
