About Us

Get to know our team in the "About Us" section

We have the dream team with the Coalition and service providers working hard at serving our community to meet the needs of expectant and new families.

Our History

Healthy Start Florida started with a realization that pregnant women and newborns were not getting the care needed to insure healthy pregnancies, healthy babies. Premature births and infant mortality were high. Because of Healthy Start and providing services to pregnant women and new parents, the number of infant death and preterm delivery has dropped drastically over the last 25 years.

Our Mission

It is the mission of Healthy Start to educate, promote positive birth outcomes, and protect the health and well-being of all women of childbearing age and children up to age three (3) in Santa Rosa County.

The Healthy Start Coalition of Santa Rosa County, Inc. is a local, non profit, 501(c)3 organization that works with moms and babies to ensure they have the services and care they need to live a long and healthy life!

Healthy Start is the foundation for early intervention, child protection, and school readiness programs. A healthy baby saves state tax dollars: for every $1 spent on preventing an unhealthy birth, $6 is saved in neonatal intensive care costs, recurrent hospital and medical expenses paid by Medicaid, exceptional and remedial education, child abuse and neglect investigations, and disability and dependency costs.
