Midwest Healthy Start

Midwest Healthy Start Initiative is a federally-funded program that works with Chicago's West Side communities to reduce infant mortality, improve infant health, and increase access to maternal and newborn care. They hold weekly breastfeeding education and support groups as well as "dancing for birth" classes. Some of the free services provided include prenatal care coordination, smoking cessation, health screening tools, and behavioral health. This program educates the community about child development, effective parenting, HIV and STDs, domestic violence, sickle cell disease, and doulas.
