What is the Healthy Babies Coalition?

The Anne Arundel County Department of Health started the Healthy Babies Coalition in 2006 to address maternal and child health disparities among African Americans in the County. The Healthy Babies Coalition has developed a comprehensive plan to improve the health and well being of pregnant women and infants in Anne Arundel County. The Healthy Babies Coalition's priorities are:

• To educate individual African-American women about preconception, prenatal, and postpartum health.
• To address cultural and health beliefs that contribute to race disparities in infant mortality.
• To increase Anne Arundel County residents' awareness of maternal and child health issues.
• To reduce teenage pregnancy in the African-American community in Anne Arundel County.

If you are a health care or social service provider, you can order FREE Healthy Babies Posters, Flyers, Brochures and Information Cards for your clients.
