For more than 23 years, Healthy Beginnings has provided
critical health and developmental screenings for the
children of Central Oregon.
Our goal is to help children be ready to learn and thrive at school.
Our screenings are provided FREE TO ANY CHILD, up to age five.
Welcome to the “I BELIEVE IN HEALTHY BEGINNINGS!" Spring 2021 fundraiser.
Please take a moment to see what we have been up to and how YOU can help us continue to offer our health and development screening and referrals services to all families in Central Oregon – for FREE! Here is YOUR opportunity to say “I BELIEVE” in Healthy Beginnings’ mission to help all kids enter their school years ready to THRIVE.
COVID-19 forced us to cancel two major in-person fundraising events and suspend our community screenings in 2020, but we made it through! Now, we can get to work helping all of the families who’ve had to wait for our screenings to return -- and you can help.
Healthy Beginnings enjoys strong relationships with Central Oregon school districts and the High Desert Education Service District, but they do not fund our operations.
Healthy Beginnings is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We rely on fundraising to support our operations and programs – which means that we are counting on our donors’ generosity to help us keep our screening programs FREE to all families.
We believe that all children deserve a ‘healthy beginning’ in life.
If you BELIEVE too, please donate today!
Nearly 40% of children enter kindergarten
with a barrier to success.
Timely health and developmental screenings help to identify these barriers and connect families to
life-changing services.
ABOUT HEALTHY BEGINNINGS
At a Healthy Beginnings screening, families and young children are welcomed into a supportive, friendly environment featuring stations devoted to areas of focus including: hearing, vision, development, behavior, dental, speech, nutrition, and more. Each screening area has activities and opportunities to respectfully engage with the child and family through play, conversation, and connection. Referral and continued follow up services are provided to families to ensure connections are made with any needed services.
We are grateful to the passionate and dedicated staff and volunteers that support the mission of Healthy Beginnings. Our volunteers include retired pediatricians, speech pathologists, dental professionals, behaviorists, licensed clinical social workers, nurses, and other professionals dedicated to caring for the children in our community.
Please donate today and share your reason for believing in Healthy Beginnings.
THANK YOU!
