“Our region is committed to tackling the key elements impacting a child's best chances for a healthy future - including access to early prenatal care, meeting developmental milestones, early and sustained school success and clear career pathways. The acknowledgement that it takes attention to the 'whole child' and the 'whole community' is inspiring and a reason for hope."
