Overview

The Georgia Healthy Start Collaborative is a statewide network of

federally funded Healthy Start programs working together to improve

maternal and child health outcomes and reduce infant and maternal

mortality across Georgia.


Supported by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration

(HRSA), Healthy Start programs focus on communities where families

face higher health risks due to limited access to care, economic challenges, or rural isolation. The goal is to ensure that every mother

and baby has a healthy start in life.
