The Healthy Start Initiative program offers grants to communities disproportionately affected by high infant mortality and adverse perinatal outcomes. This grant aims to reduce health disparities, particularly among racial or ethnic minority groups, by focusing on women’s health, service quality, family resilience, and collective impact. Funding supports high-risk women and their families from the prenatal period through two years postpartum, addressing issues like low birthweight, preterm birth, and maternal morbidity. Eligibility requires infant mortality rates at least 1.5 times the U.S. national average. The initiative seeks to improve health outcomes and increase accountability through robust monitoring and evaluation, fostering healthier starts for vulnerable populations.
