Health & Wellbeing is the wellspring from which all of our wildest dreams, goals and success spring from! Optimum health is an indicator across several sectors - from education, financial stability, and thriving families and communities. Our programs and services increase awareness, bridge connections between healthcare providers and community members and empowers people to take control of their overall health & wellbeing. 

The Minnesota Integrated Care for Early Childhood Initiative is a community-led, collective effort to engage families, professionals, and other community partners to build the infrastructure for an equitable, family-centered, integrated model for conducting early childhood screening, referral, and follow-up in health settings for young African American children and their families.
