Welcome to The Bay, Franklin, Gulf Healthy Start Coalition, Inc.

The choices you make now are important for your baby's health. As soon as you think you are pregnant, see your health care provider. You want to have a healthy baby, your doctor and Healthy Start can help.
Healthy Start believes every woman deserves to know if she or her baby is at risk. That is why every doctor in the state of Florida is required to offer a Healthy Start Screening to all pregnant women and their babies. By initialing “Yes” to screening on the Healthy Start Prenatal or Infant Risk Screen, women will know within minutes, if they or their baby have any individual health risks.
After completing the Healthy Start Screen, the doctor’s office or delivering facility will refer to Healthy Start based on answers provided on the Screening Form. Healthy Start and the doctor’s office continually communicate with each other to make sure the client has the best outcome possible.
