Welcome

Welcome to Enterprise Community Healthy Start, where our primary concern is with the well being of mothers and children. We are here as a community driven approach to reduce infant mortality rates (death rate). We are committed to assist in the improvement of the quality of life as well as promoting and teaching healthy lifestyles.

America’s future will be determined by what we do to improve the health of mothers, children, and families. Infant mortality remains a tragic problem that can be solved only if all community leaders, businesses, health care professionals, and policymakers work together to find solutions. Enterprise Community Healthy Start can help you if you are planning to get pregnant, are pregnant or you’ve just had a baby. We can help you find special health services for yourself, your baby or teen child.
