Supporting Healthy Babies through Strengthening Families

At a Glance

Next Door Foundation, in collaboration with Penfield Children’s Center, has received a grant for a project that will provide enhanced support to Black families with children under the age of one in Milwaukee. This project aims to strengthen access to post-partum maternal care and address infant needs through community-based activities, increase knowledge of the social determinants of health, inform of the risk factors associated with premature births and infant mortality, and provide information related to prevention and early intervention strategies in Milwaukee.
