Nearly 1 in 5 babies are born to families living below the poverty line.
According to ZERO TO THREE’s State of Babies Yearbook, Black, Hispanic, and Native American/Alaska Native infants and toddlers are more likely to live in poverty than their white counterparts. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed and exacerbated these disparities and structural barriers, which have harmful and life-altering effects that begin even before birth and can last a lifetime.

With the HealthySteps approach, your team can streamline the implementation of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Bright Futures Guidelines and improve the quality of care patients receive.
