Coalition membership consists of interested individuals or organizations that help the Coalition meet the statutory requirements of the Healthy Start laws. Coalition members help us understand the perspectives, strengths, structures, needs and assets of our community of mothers and infants, and may serve as our partners or volunteers in fulfilling our mission.
Their relationships with us assure that we remain a viable and strong organization. We strive to maintain a Coalition membership that represents our county’s racial, ethnic, and gender composition.
Our current membership stands at 32 voting members and 14 non-voting members. Thirteen members are from the private sector or Healthy Start service providers; eleven are community or social service organizations; three are county health department representatives; three represent hospitals or birthing centers; three represent education or Head Start; there are two each from government and the interested citizen category; and one each from the consumer category and health planning.
