Health Priorities
Based on data from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the IHS, Early Head Start and Head Start American Indian and Alaska Native children suffer from a disproportionate burden of injuries, homicide, dental decay, obesity and diabetes, and unsafe environments. Based on data and community need's assessments, we are currently implementing specific health priorities
that are proven to improve health outcomes for the child, family, and community. The initiatives will
not only have a positive effect on health challenges, but will also strengthen local capacity and health
provider outreach to Head Start grantees in an effort to sustain and expand health preventive services
provided at a local level.
