More Information
First Year Cleveland is a community-wide, data-driven group acting with urgency to prevent our babies from dying. Working together, we are making an impact due to our collaboration with a diverse mix of individuals and organizations from throughout Cuyahoga County. They comprise our FYC Community Action Council.
This group of more than 400 prospective and current parents, along with community stakeholders including health care providers, grassroot entities, public and private entities, faith-based organizations and the philanthropic community, are working on interconnected interventions across twelve FYC Action Teams.
If you are interested in joining the Community Action Council, please contact us.
