Our Mission
We are individuals, private organizations, and state agencies working to improve the health of children and families in West Virginia. We provide a forum for diverse organizations to discuss, coordinate and collaborate on issues that improve the health and well-being of West Virginia children.
W. Va. Kids and Oral Health
The W. Va. Healthy Kids and Families Coalition is focusing strongly this year on oral health for children and is an active partner in West Virginia Partners for Oral Health. Childhood caries is most common among children in low-income families. Untreated chronic oral infection can contribute to a lifetime of poor health including diabetes and heart disease -- these are serious and growing problems in West Virginia.
