Healthy kids. That’s our goal.
Every child needs a village – a connected community of caring adults to support them, and safe and supportive environments that will give them the healthiest start in life. Together our coalition seeks to abolish inequities in Rochester and the Finger Lakes Region to support the health of our youngest children.
