HHS Launches Newborn Essentials Support Toolkit Program in Partnership with CDC Foundation
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced on October 9 the initiation of its Newborn Essentials Support Toolkit Program. This new initiative, developed in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) CDC Foundation, aims to provide crucial support to new families. The program will distribute one-time kits containing essential newborn and postpartum supplies, along with maternal health items, information, and resources. This effort is designed to assist families during the critical postpartum period by ensuring they have access to necessary items and guidance for both the newborn and the mother. The program underscores a commitment to improving maternal and infant health outcomes by addressing immediate needs and providing educational materials.
