Healthy Start offers prenatal, birth, and postpartum support to mothers, babies, families, and other community members at-risk for poor birth outcomes in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties, with a focus on Black mothers, babies, and families.
Through our array of programs that are offered at no cost to participants, Healthy Start provides early prenatal care, health literacy, breastfeeding promotion, safe sleep education, depression screening and intervention, substance use prevention, and more. From the community health worker that teaches a new mom proper breastfeeding technique to the project coordinator showing members of a family how to prepare nutritious food, Healthy Start is making a powerful impact on families. Since our founding, we've served over 17,976 mothers/birthing people, fathers/father figures, and babies with direct services, as well as thousands more community members through education programs.
Your donation supports healthier pregnancies, safer births, stronger families, and a more equitable healthcare system. Thank you from all of us at Healthy Start!
