The mission of the Bessler Center is to partner with our community to develop and implement health solutions so all children and families thrive.
Our priorities
For all children to remain healthy in their community, we must work within the community. Our three chosen strategic focus areas are based on community input and feedback and local and national health data.
-
So all families have healthy pregnancies and postpartum health, and each infant has a healthy start.
On July 23rd, 2024 the Bessler Center hosted a county-wide call to action to improve outcomes and resources for birthing families and infants. Watch a short summary video of the Healthy Births, Healthy Babies summit.
