Welcome to Babies Born Healthy
Monday, February 25th, 2008Welcome to our website! We’ve established this blog site to generate discussion about the importance of prenatal care and the effect prenatal care can have on the health and development of Nebraska’s children. We invite you to share your thoughts and engage in lively discussion as we explore ways to support the growth and development of our kids.
We would like to thank Nebraska native photographer, Tammy Muecke for allowing us access to her wonderful photos of babies, children, and families. Photo’s like this one really set the tone for the importance of our cause … Babies Born Healthy.
We invite you to share your photos with us when you post a comment or submit a guest blog. Or, if you’d rather, just send your photos to photos@babiesbornhealthy.com and we’ll share them for you.
We would also like to thank the many people and organizations that shared their expertise for the creation of the video on this site. This is a diverse group of Nebraskan individuals and organizations that share one common sense value … Babies Born Healthy.
