Head Start Committee Meeting
I attended the meeting for the Brevard County Head Start program. This was the first time since last September and we are in desperate need of community involvment for providing health and nutrition wellness for our at risk population. In order to attain this we need to implement a plan that will draw the interest of our local pediatric healthcare community. As a committee we tried to collaborate ideas with the program manager to help him be successful in gaining this support and moving forward. Last year it seemed we had more support and the program was gaining ground but at present we are going backwards. This needs to be resolved for health and welfare of our at risk children and families. We had some excellent ideas and are moving forward with them.

Matters such as health and nutrition definitely need to be addressed in urban communities. Recently I have driven through impoverished areas and the neighborhood stores often include a plethora of convenience stores, but not supermarkets, produce stands, or health food stores. All communities definitely deserve access to nutritious food and venues that encourage healthy living.
