Specialized services just for you, Mama
Saving Babies
Infant mortality is a sentinel indicator of the health of a community. Every baby deserves an equal and healthy start in life, but too many babies die from preventable causes and lack of health services.
• Preconception health care
• Safe sleep
• Fetal & infant death reviews
• Substance-exposed newborns
Every year, the equivalent of 8 kindergarten classes dies in Northeast Florida before their first birthday.

The health and well-being of families has a direct impact on infant mortality and birth outcomes. We provide services to help parents provide safe and stable environments for their children; fathers connect with their children; and adolescents focus on reproductive health.
• Co-parenting
• Engaging dads
• Child abuse prevention
• Adolescent reproductive health
When communities experience infant
mortality, it is a reflection of the overall health of a population.
