YOUTH

The Coalition empowers local families and promotes health and success for their young children through:

  1. Parenting support and information
  2. Promoting and participating in youth health events and physical activities
  3. Promoting developmental and health screenings events and services
  4. Referrals to other resources in the community

Good Start Back2School

Each summer and fall, the Coalition partners and participates in a series of Back to School outreach efforts throughout the county. The Coalition shared important information about children’s health insurance and ways to prepare for a healthy school year with families. These educational events and outreach efforts held in Midway, Havana, Quincy, Greensboro, Gretna and Chattahoochee reached thousands of Gadsden County residents.

Nutrition & Fitness

Due to the high obesity rate of adults and children in Gadsden County, families will explore fresh, new ideas on how to make healthy eating fit into a busy lifestyle and create positive fitness habits that they can maintain together.
