The Texas Department of State Health Services has established a Someday Starts Now website as part of its Healthy Texas Babies initiative to reduce infant mortality in Texas.
The website includes information and resources for physicians, including birth and life plan templates, posters, patient worksheets and FAQs, and training videos.
The Healthy Texas Babies initiative includes:
- Evidence-based interventions led by local coalitions in communities statewide;
- Communications campaigns to raise public awareness;
- Efforts to address disparities in infant mortality among different ethnic groups; and
- Provider education and support for clinical decision-making.
