Funded by the United States Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Healthy Start expands access to perinatal care for parents in San Bernardino County, particularly those living in communities experiencing higher-than-average maternal and infant health risks. The program uses a personalized, parent-centered approach to strengthen family well-being and improve birth outcomes.\nHealthy Start San Bernardino provides free prenatal and childbirth education, postpartum and breastfeeding assistance, mental health services, doula support, and hands-on help navigating birth and postpartum resources. These services help improve maternal and infant health outcomes and reduce infant mortality by addressing gaps in perinatal care and inconsistent access to services.\nCommunity Health Workers, known as care coordinators, offer telehealth visits from pregnancy through a child&#8217;s first 18 months. Enrolled parents can also be connected to midwifery care, doula and lactation services, and additional community resources as needed.\n<h4>\n\t\t\tCommunity Consortium\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>The Community Consortium brings together community members, service providers, and partners committed to improving birth outcomes in San Bernardino County. This collaborative effort addresses the community and environmental factors that influence perinatal health, with attention to areas experiencing higher-than-average maternal and infant health challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Through monthly meetings and action-focused workshops, members identify priorities and advance projects that improve access to care, strengthen support systems for parents, and address environmental conditions that affect family well-being.<\/p>\n<p>The Community Consortium builds partnerships across sectors, offers learning and collaboration opportunities, and ensures community perspectives inform decisions and programs. Join us in advancing practical solutions that support healthier pregnancies, stronger families, and better outcomes for babies across San Bernardino County.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/globalcommunities.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Healthy_Start_SB_Consortium_Flyer_June_2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDOWNLOAD CONSORTIUM FLYER\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n<h2>\n\t\t\tProgram Eligibility\t<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n<li>Live in San Bernardino AND<\/li>\n<li>Are pregnant or have a baby 6 months or less AND<\/li>\n<li>Are Black OR low income (eligible for Medi-Cal, SNAP, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other questions about our program?
