The Healthy Start Coalition of Jefferson, Madison & Taylor Counties Inc. currently has Board vacancies in both Madison and Taylor Counties. According to our By-Laws our Governing Board is recruited from our Coalition membership. This could be directly or via nominations of other community members.

We are encouraging you to have your voice heard and nominate someone from Madison and/or Taylor Counties that possesses a true passion for children and families, has a deep understanding of our resource-lacking communities and wants to make an awesome contribution. Board members must be residents of the county they represent.

The Coalition is doing some exciting work over the next few years and now is the right time to get involved. We are recruiting new leadership within our team this year and kicking off our Strategic Planning for the next five years of work in maternal and child health. There is no better time to get involved!

Nominate a new Board Member today for Madison and/or Taylor by emailing dhagan@healthystartjmt.org.

Never leave your baby unattended in the bath, even for a moment! Always keep a hand on your little one and have everything you need within reach. A few seconds of distraction can be dangerous—supervision is the best way to keep bath time safe and fun.

As we reflect on this past year, we’re filled with gratitude for the growth we’ve experienced, the dedication of our incredible staff, and the trust of the communities we serve. None of this work would be possible without the families, partners, and supporters across Jefferson, Madison, and Taylor Counties who walk alongside us.

We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and excited for the year ahead as we continue working together to improve birth outcomes and support women and families in our communities. Wishing everyone a season filled with peace, joy, and hope. 🎄✨

If you need help with substance use, please reach out to your provider today.

Substance use during pregnancy can affect both the health of the mother and the developing baby. Awareness and education are key to prevention and support. Expectant parents are encouraged to seek help, access resources, and work with healthcare providers to ensure a safe, healthy pregnancy. Early intervention, treatment programs, and community support can make a life-changing difference for families.
