Florida Association of Healthy Start Coalitions Information

Florida’s Association of Healthy Start Coalitions (FAHSC) harnesses the power of over 30 years as a leading nonprofit in the state of Florida to improve the lives of families through services developed to meet the needs of pregnant and post-partum women, fathers, infants, and young children up to age three. Using a community-focused model, FAHSC supports 32 Healthy Start Coalitions throughout the state in services tailored to the unique needs of their communities while also facilitating statewide services. Services are provided through a suite of programs based on proven methods for delivering a continuum of high-quality care that’s accessible and affordable. Programming includes education and support for pregnant and post-partum women, resources for parenting infants and children up to the age of three, education and support for dads, avenues for connecting families to resources and services in their communities, access to doulas, and more. Additionally, an important part of our programming is federal funding for evidence-based home visiting services. FAHSC is a dynamic group of professionals passionate about helping families have equitable access to services and support to ensure their baby has a healthy start in life. Our state-level team is in beautiful Tallahassee and our Coalitions are located regionally to provide direct services to every county in the sunshine state.
