Child Health & Development
The building blocks to a healthier future
Overview
Alaskan youth are the cornerstone of our state, and we are proud to offer programs that give them the best chances to lead healthy lives from the start. Ensuring the needs of children are understood and met is critical for lifelong stability and better health outcomes. Establishing healthy habits and connections such as physical activity, positive adult connections, healthy diets, quality child care, and after school programs are important aspects for overall health.
