Healthy Babies Zone

The Healthy Babies Zone Wilkinsburg (HBZ) project was modeled after the Best Babies Zone (BBZ) framework to establish a community structure to ensure babies are born into a community that will enable them to thrive and reach their full potential. The BBZ initiative was created to address perinatal health outcomes by focusing efforts on the social and economic determinants of health and the promotion of health equity and their impact on health outcomes. We are guided by our Community Champion, Ms. Toni Watkins.
