Growing Healthy Two-gether aims to:

• improve the health of mothers and infants,
• reduce the incidence of unhealthy birth weights, and
• promote and support breastfeeding

by building partnerships and strengthening community supports for pregnant women.

Growing Healthy Two-gether is funded by Public Health Agency of Canada, and the program is delivered by Carizon Family and Community Services in partnership with the Region of Waterloo Public Health and Emergency Services.
