Healthy Beginnings

The Healthy Beginnings Program is for pregnant African American and Latino women and families living in Beaufort County. The program provides care coordination that begins during pregnancy and continues until the baby's 2nd birthday. The Healthy Beginnings Care Coordinator will:

• Provide at least 6 home visits per year and a minimum monthly contact by phone or office visit
• Link you with resources and support services
• Provide referrals
• Provide one-on-one education and support specific to your needs
• Coordinate group educational sessions where you will have the chance to meet and talk with other program participants (partners and spouses are welcome and encouraged to participate)

We want to support a positive birth outcome and an enriched parenting experience for you and your family. For more information about Beaufort County's Healthy Beginnings program, please contact Ashley Singleton, Healthy Beginnings Coordinator, at 252-940-5099.

Healthy Beginnings Community Advisory Board (CAB)

The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is comprised of community members and leaders of Beaufort County representing the Beaufort County Schools, ECU Health, Department of Social Services, early childhood, mental health, nutrition, and breastfeeding. These community members and leaders are committed to reducing infant mortality rates and improving health and wellness among African American and Latino families. The board includes program participants and depends heavily on their input toward understanding and meeting the needs of African American and Latino families.
