Community Health Start Receives Grant and Opens Center
In October 1998 a survey showed families worried about medical services housing employment transportation safety child care and after school recreation. By March 1999 an application for a grant was filed and in May 1999 Richland School received 400000 over three years. Shafter Healthy Start opened at Valley and Lerdo Highway in February 2000 linking families to services. Yvonne Munoz and Margaret Ramirez lead family advocacy with nurse Laurie Roth and intake clerk Francis Salinas. The program, part of a local network, seeks more grants as funding ends soon. A free Health Fair at Richland Activity Center is set for Friday April 19 from 3 to 6 p.m. with forty-two vendors signed up.
