Paula Green-Smith, president and CEO of Urban Health Resource/Urban Health Outreach, in Detroit, Michigan, will deliver an interactive workshop on “The Value of Investing in Healthy Mothers,” on Saturday, June 6, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, at the Douglass Community Learning Center, located at 598 North Kent Street in Winchester. The event is free and open to the public.
Join us in learning a new wellness movement on improving physical, emotional, and financial health in families. The workshop centers on the adage “healthy women tend to have healthy babies,” and how lifestyle choices, available resources, and life management principles can increase the odds of healthy birth outcomes that enable children to reach their full potential and families to thrive.
The event is sponsored by the Coalition to Curb Infant Mortality, a coalition of local agencies and community members who work with or are concerned about mothers and infants, including Apple Country Head Start, Shenandoah University and the Lord Fairfax Health District.
The event is supported by a grant from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Institution of Child Health and Human Development awarded to Shenandoah University.
