Nourishing New Lives During a Pandemic
|
|
Parents will always worry about their kids' health. But, imagine having a new baby during a worldwide pandemic, especially if you are first-time parents.
Giving birth during a pandemic is frightening enough. But now what, now that the baby is here? Moms and dads wonder, "How do I protect my baby's health?" "What about breastfeeding?"
In this month's Health and the City column, you can find information about what we and our partners are doing to support breastfeeding moms and families, including a this StarTran bus campaign.

Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health, wellness, and fitness of Lincoln's children, families, and seniors.
We work to improve wellness policies and conduct community level health research. We collaborate with community partners to promote healthy weights with good nutrition and beverage choices, increase fitness, support breastfeeding, and improve patient outcomes by increasing cancer and vaccination rates, improving chronic disease management, and standardizing clinical practices. During public health crises like the COVID 19 pandemic, we help to protect community health by providing science and evidence-based information.
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln also works to improve health equity in our community, addressing disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest burden of chronic disease. Systemic racism is also a threat to community health. We stand in solidarity with everyone who is fighting for greater equality and justice for all.
