Healthy Start Partnership
The Healthy Start Partnership is a group of professionals working to promote healthy weights in women of childbearing age in the following New York state counties: Chenango, Delaware, Fulton, Herkimer, Madison, Montgomery, Otsego, and Schoharie.
The Healthy Start Partnership is part of a $1 million, four-year project led by Dr. Christine Olson, Cornell professor of nutritional sciences and environmental psychologist Dr. Nancy Wells, Cornell associate professor of design and environmental analysis, and funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The project seeks to promote healthy weights in childbearing women and their infants through the Healthy Start Partnership of 42 health and nutrition professionals in the eight counties served by Bassett Healthcare. Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown, N.Y., is cooperating with Cornell on this project to evaluate its impact on body weight in women and their infants.
