2009 Off to a Good Start: Framing Policy for Early Childhood Health Systems Integration

Waldron, will provide an overview of the increasing emphasis in child health to address children’s healthy development from a whole child perspective and the particular importance for doing so to address health disparities - by socioeconomic status, race, language, culture and geography. It will offer suggestions on how the current Off to a Good Start Coalition recommendations might be informed by the emerging emphasis upon this whole child, social determinants approach.
