The Health Department is offering the Healthy Start Initiative grant to eliminate disparities in Perinatal health among diverse populations, including various ethnic groups and immigrant communities. This grant aims to address differences in health indicators influenced by factors like education, income, and geographic location. Projects will focus on supporting women and infants through pregnancy, interconception, and infancy stages to promote longer interconception periods and prevent risk behavior relapses. Proposals should target the proposed project area and aim to improve health outcomes for mothers and infants up to two years post-delivery.

| Description:: | The purpose of this program is to address significant disparities in Perinatal health including disparities experienced by Hispanics, American Indians, African-Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, and immigrant populations. Differences in perinatal health indicators may occur by virtue of education, age of mother, income, disability, or living in rural/isolated areas. To address disparities and the factors contributing to them in these indicators, it is anticipated that the proposed scope of project services will cover the pregnancy and interconception phases for women and infants residing in the proposed project area. In order to promote longer interconception periods and prevent relapses of risk behaviors, the woman and infant are to be followed through the infant’s second year of life and/or two years following delivery. |
