Supporting Strong Communities with the HealthySteps Program
Adirim, Terry A.; Johnston, Ann Thomas
ZERO TO THREE, v40 n1 p52-54 Sep 2019
Despite the differences between civilian and military life, the family unit remains a unifying force in the community. This article describes how the Department of Defense recognized that putting support--beyond clinical medical care--within a medical setting could be a valuable resource for families. The authors share the promising results that are emerging from a pilot effort of implementing HealthySteps within the military community.
