Medical Provider Survey
The goal of Healthy Start is to reduce infant mortality, increase
access to maternal and child health care
and support services and improve the health
and developmental outcomes of children
in our community. This initiative includes
ongoing collection and assessment of information
regarding the services available
to the maternal and child populations.
We are asking maternal and child health
care providers in Flagler and Volusia counties
to please take a few minutes to complete
the survey below so that we can better
assess what medical services are currently
available to our target population. Thank
you in advance for helping us gather this
data.
