Chipola Healthy Start is getting ready for the “Totally Rad” Community Baby Shower!

We’ve partnered with Jackson Hospital Labor & Delivery and WIC to show how Breastfeeding is Totally Rad while celebrating YOU, your baby, and your growing family!

Get ready for an amazing lineup of vendors and amazing giveaways at the area’s largest baby shower event — there’s something for everyone: moms, babies, and dads! This year, we’re adding a special Dad Zone with prizes just for fathers, plus a breastfeeding area where moms can receive lactation support. We will also have nurses available to complete checks.

Mark your calendars: August 27th at RCC is the place to be for anyone who is RAD!🌸🌼

Hot Car Safety Tip: Use a Reminder

Even the best parents can forget when routines change. Set a reminder to help keep your child safe:

✅ Put your phone, purse, or shoe in the back seat
✅ Set an alarm on your phone
✅ Place a stuffed animal in the front seat when your child is in the back

A simple habit can save a life.

Happy National Home Visiting Week to our teams of amazing home visitors! 🩷 🌷

🎉This week, we’re shining a bright light on the heart of Healthy Start, the incredible Home Visitors & the Program Directors that lead them!

They are so much more than home visitors--they are moms, dads, childbirth educators, doulas, and proud members of our community. Every day, they bring not only professional support, but lived experience, compassion, and deep commitment to the families they serve. Their impact is immeasurable!

Thank you for all you do to help our families grow stronger and healthier. Moms, dads & babies in our five counties thank you ALL for what you do everyday! We see you, we appreciate you, and we celebrate you this week and always!🩷💚🩷💚

Chipola Healthy Start Coalition Inc

We are a community based, non-profit organization focused on improving the health and well being of pregnant women, their infants and children. Chipola Healthy Start was established in 1991 to service Jackson, Washington, Holmes, Calhoun and Liberty Counties.

Any mom can have a condition that would put her baby at risk for being born too soon or too small. When you answer a few questions on the Healthy Start Risk Screen at your first prenatal visit and at the hospital when your baby is born, you give your baby a better chance at a healthy start. When you say yes to Healthy Start, services can be provided to you in the comfort of your own home, at the Healthy Start program office in your county, or at another place of your choosing. You may qualify for services from Healthy Start no matter what your income level is. Participation is voluntary and you can stop services whenever you want.

Services in your county may include:

*Home or office visits with your personal care coordinator *Car seat safety & education *Early Child development screenings & education *Safe sleep education *Breastfeeding education & support *Childbirth education *Parenting education & support *Nutritional guidance *Info on choosing child care providers *Father services *Family planning info & resources *Help to quit smoking *Transportation info *Counseling (perinatal and postpartum depression) *Screening for signs of postpartum depression *Information for help with substance abuse *Linkage to community resources
