greenville first steps winter 2015
DESCRIPTION
Greenville First Steps believes parents play the most visible and essential role in ensuring a child starts school feeling healthy and ready to learn. But for many parents in our area, the resources and opportunities to help children get ready aren’t easily accessible—or even available at all. That’s why Greenville First Steps partners to promote school readiness initiatives by enhancing the work that worthwhile agencies like local schools, state agencies, churches, non-profits, and neighborhoods are already doing in our community. http://greenvillefirststeps.orgTRANSCRIPT

Children’s Hospital of Greenville Health System (GHS) thanks Greenville First Steps for helping make sure children reach developmental milestones—and helping them get the help they need when they don’t—so that they can enjoy a healthy and happy life.
We all take the health of our community a step in the right direction by caring for our most valuable resource—our children. At GHS Children’s Hospital, we provide patients and their families the full spectrum of care—medical to emotional needs, primary to specialty services and prevention to rehabilitation. We recognize that children aren’t small adults, and one size doesn’t fit all, so we deliver “whole child” care that’s just the right size.
Working together, we can keep our children healthy—and in step!
