We Believe in Investing in Baltimore’s Families

In 1991, our founders had the vision to partner with the federal government and become part of the original 15 Federal Healthy Start demonstration sites across the country to tackle disparities in perinatal health, including infant mortality. Baltimore Healthy Start, Inc. has been a leader in raising awareness on how social determinants of health- access to health insurance, education, job opportunities and a safe living environment- impact health and drive inequities in health outcomes.

Our vision is simple

We want everyone to start healthy and stay healthy. We know that by experiencing a nurturing, caring, and fulfilling home life, every child will be eager to grow, motivated to succeed, and committed to making a difference in their community.

We improve the health of our families and communities in the following ways:

Family and Community Engagement
Wellness Services
Community Health Worker Deployment
Home Visiting

We provide 99% of our services wherever the family needs it: their doorstep, home or hospital. Bringing the services directly to families ensures that children have a safe, nurturing, thriving environment for the first few years of life — and beyond.
