Child Health
Children live in environments that promote healthy development and receive the high quality care they need to be physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy

Healthy Habits, Healthy Minds
Children need to live in an environment that promotes their holistic development and provides access to high-quality services in order to be successful. However, many children in the North Shore community don’t receive basic medical, dental, and mental healthcare services. In fact, asthma-related events are three to four times higher among children on the North Shore than in other Staten Island communities.
In an effort to promote a healthy environment of the North Shore’s young children we are helping families gain access to the resources necessary to create homes that support healthy development. This includes providing children with access to healthcare and other services that support their physical, mental, and emotional health.
