Getting support shouldn’t be complicated. Find quick answers to frequently asked questions about eligibility, services and how we can help your family.
Who qualifies for North East Florida Healthy Start Coalition services?
We serve pregnant women, new mothers, and families with children under age 5 throughout Northeast Florida. Many of our services are available to all families regardless of income, insurance status or immigration status. Specific programs may have additional eligibility requirements, which we’ll discuss during your initial consultation.
How do I get started?
Getting started is simple! You can complete our online eligibility form, call us directly, or have a healthcare provider, social worker, or community member refer you. We’ll connect you with a care coordinator who will help determine which services best fit your family’s needs.
Do I need insurance or a referral?
All Northeast Florida Healthy Start programs and services are provided at no cost to families. We’re funded through federal grants, state funding and community partnerships to ensure cost is never a barrier to accessing care.
How long can I receive support?
Support duration varies by program, but we typically serve families from pregnancy through their child’s fifth birthday. Some services may extend longer based on your family’s needs. We believe in providing support for as long as it’s beneficial to your family’s health and wellbeing.
Is my information kept private?
Yes, all information is kept strictly confidential according to HIPAA guidelines and state regulations. We only share information with your written consent and only when it directly benefits your care. Your privacy and trust are our top priorities.
