West Side program connects families to child care resources
West Side Healthy Parents & Babies is free and open to West Side families, regardless of income level.
The program aims to help in the first year of babies’ lives, a critical time period for their health. It intends to break down barriers on the West Side, where more babies tend to be born preterm, according to public health data.
