The Healthy Babies Zone (HBZ) Wilkinsburg project was modeled after the Best Babies Zone (BBZ) framework to establish a community structure that ensures 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. The core partners of HBZ are Healthy Start Inc., Pittsburgh, Allegheny County Health Department Family and Child Health Division, The University of Pittsburgh Centers for Health Equity,  Trying Together, and Women for a Healthy Environment.
 

We are guided by our Community Champion, Ms. Toni Watkins.
