Grateful to be one of the 13 awarded a grant from the @MassAGO today in partnership with @challiance, @goodmeasures, @icommhealth and @TuftsHealthPlan. Our goal is to show that food is medicine; that food is the least expensive health intervention. #SocialDeterminants

Mamas with babies & no money for next month’s bills. Families dipping into savings. And thousands of workers who are missing paychecks. These #ShutdownStories make it clear: @realDonaldTrump needs to end the #TrumpShutdown now. pbs.org/newshour/politics/as…
As shutdown wears on, 5 stories from federal workers and their families

Do mothers w/ dependant children have the same exp. of #homelessness as others who exp. homelessness? Is there a need for a gendered approach to finding solutions for family homelessness? This COH report explores the topic in detail: bit.ly/2yWZUCX

50% of a person's health is determined by life circumstances (i.e living conditions/housing, income, access to nutritious food). 25% is determined by access to health care. These facts highlight the alarming impact of #homelessness on a person's health. bit.ly/2EqOL0T

What stage are you in? Breastfeeding is a journey. There are ups & downs and feelings of accomplishment and frustration. WIC is there to help every step of the way, no matter what stage of the breastfeeding journey you’re in. ow.ly/do4x30nb78j #WeKnowBreastfeeding!
