Florida Healthy Babies

Florida Department of Health in Dixie County

Florida Healthy Babies Initiative 

Florida’s Healthy Babies focuses on positive health outcomes and reducing the rate of infant mortality in minority populations.

Though Florida has experienced declining morbidity and mortality rates, disparities persist. The Department is committed to eliminating these differences. Florida Healthy Babies represents the collective strength of partners and individuals working together to improve the health and well-being of all Floridians.
