Welcome! The Worcester Healthy Start Initiative supports Worcester families with comprehensive perinatal services both during and after pregnancy in a culturally competent manner. Through community involvement, case management, and educational programming we strive to improve the health and well-being of all mothers, babies, and families in the city. If you are pregnant or have a child less than 2 years of age, we hope you will consider enrolling today!

                                                                    Thank you,
                                                                    - Meaghan Young, MPP, Program Director

The Worcester Healthy Start Initiative (WHSI) is the only federally funded city-wide program working at the grassroots level in Worcester with pregnant women, women with young children and their families to ensure that they all have equal access to health care and social support resources. We are here to connect you with everything from medical care, insurance, and baby supplies, to health information and emotional support - no matter how far along you are.

Over the past 15 years Worcester has had a higher Infant Mortality Rate than that of Massachusetts and the nation. Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of HRSA in 2000, our goal is to reduce infant mortality in Worcester and improve the birth outcomes for the high risk populations.

Your baby's good health starts long before birth!

If you are a pregnant woman or a family with children under the age of two living in Worcester, please contact us to enroll in the program.
