WOMEN

A Community Teaming Up for Women

One of our main efforts is to help improve the overall health of women of childbearing age (15-44) by introducing them to a total approach to wellness.

Here are our Main Initiatives for Women and Girls:

• Healthy Start for Pregnant Women
• First Time Moms Program
• MomCare Program
• The RedHEALS Project

Adopting National Strategies, GCHSC has identified these project goals:

• Intensify disease prevention efforts in communities where they are most heavily concentrated.
• Expand targeted efforts by using a combination of effective, evidence-based approaches.
• Educate women and girls about the threat of obesity and how to prevent it.
• Reduce stigma and discrimination against people living with infectious diseases.
• Adopt community-level approaches to reduce STD infection in high-risk communities.
• Improve awareness of access to prevention and care services for all residents.
