21st Century Challenge Initiative
Thanks to a partnership of United Way of Tri-State, United
Way of Norwalk & Wilton, and five $1,000,000 donors
throughout the Tri-State region, the Healthy Families
Collaborative Project has been awarded a total of $600,000
over a five-year period as part of the 21st Century
Challenge Initiative. This project, under the leadership of
the Norwalk Health Department, is designed to provide a
continuum of maternal/child health-care related services for
teenagers and women of childbearing age, pregnant women and
teens, and mothers and fathers with children ages newborn to
five in Norwalk. The project will address issues of timely,
regular prenatal care, low birth weight, births to
teenagers, child abuse and lack of health insurance as well
as other critical pregnancy, birth and early childhood
issues.
