We are thrilled to announce that beginning October 1, 2024, Lutheran Services Florida, Inc. (LSF) will serve as the new provider of Healthy Start program services. As part of this partnership, LSF will deliver intensive home visitation services that incorporate the Healthy Start Prenatal and Infant Pathways, as well as Interconception Care Counseling. These services aim to provide comprehensive care for families during critical stages of pregnancy and early childhood.
Through the utilization of screening tools, LSF will help identify and address risk factors such as:
Maternal depression
Domestic or intimate partner violence
Tobacco use
Substance use
Infant developmental concerns
The overarching mission of the Healthy Start program is to reduce infant mortality and morbidity by empowering families with the resources, education, and support they need to thrive.
We are excited to see the positive impact this collaboration will bring to our community. Together with Lutheran Services Florida, we remain committed to ensuring every child has a healthy start in life.Stay tuned for updates as we continue this vital work in Hillsborough County!
