Infant Mortality Reduction Efforts in Calhoun County
For the first time in more than 10 years, the infant mortality trend in Calhoun County is declining. This positive trend is especially good news because infant mortality is an important indicator of the overall health of our community.
This significant improvement is due to a long-term, focused and collaborative effort among many Calhoun County residents and organizations. Successfully reducing infant mortality required a multi-disciplinary focus on numerous factors including access to medical care as well as maternal education and support.
Since the early 2000’s when Calhoun County’s infant mortality began to rise, the community has responded with innovative partnerships and focused efforts to address this issue.
