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.
