Healthy Futures is a partnership of Traverse City area health care providers, health departments and Munson Healthcare. I, along with my company as a whole, have been supporting Healthy Futures for the past couple of years, donating a portion of every sale to their program. It has been a very rewarding affiliation and I wanted to summarize the program for those of you not familiar with it.
Healthy Futures was created and implemented in 1998 to improve the health of children born at Munson Medical Center and partnering hospitals. It ensures access to prenatal and primary care services for the population of families with children from conception to age two. It is a free service!
The program offers a community-based registered nurse to offer personal support through phone calls and visits, whatever you are comfortable with. The program also ensures timely health information delivered to you by mail focusing on immunizations, safety and nutrition. Again, this is a free service to all pregnant women and families with small children in the Northwest Lower Michigan region.
If you would like more information about the program, feel free to contact me directly, or you can contact Healthy Futures at (231) 935-5640 or toll free at (888) 403-8468. Every child deserves a healthy future!
