Global Communities San Diego/Riverside Healthy Start

Global Communities' Healthy Start program provides free prenatal and childbirth education, postpartum support, and breastfeeding assistance for families in San Diego and Riverside Counties, ensuring parents in communities facing greater health risks have the support they need. Our Healthy Start program offers high-quality perinatal services to new and expecting parents in Central and East San Diego County, as well as Riverside County. We focus on ensuring that all parents — especially those living in communities experiencing higher-than-average rates of maternal and infant health complications — have access to the support and resources they need for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. We offer a range of services, including prenatal and childbirth education, postpartum support, and breastfeeding assistance. Our experienced team guides families through every stage of pregnancy and the postpartum period, providing information, resources, and steady support so parents feel confident and prepared. We recognize that families come from varied backgrounds and circumstances, and we tailor our care to meet each family's specific needs. Our team speaks English, Spanish, Somali, Haitian Creole, and French, helping more families receive services in a language they are comfortable using. We are committed to making our program accessible and community-wide, with services provided at no cost for families with limited financial resources and those living in areas facing greater maternal and infant health challenges.
