About the Organizer:

Broward Healthy Start Coalition’s mission is “to promote the health and well-being of women, infants and families to achieve a successful pregnancy and a healthy start in life.”

As the leader in maternal and child health policy and programming in Broward County, the Coalition receives funding from the Florida Department of Health and administers the Healthy Start system — managing services for pregnant women and children up to age three, and overseeing quality and assurance programs within our community.
