HISTORY
Birmingham Healthy Start (BHS) is one of the original fifteen HRSA funded Healthy Start Programs. Originally a component of the Jefferson County Department of Health (JCDH}, BHS became a Division of Birmingham health care, Inc. on June 1, 2009. Since its inception, BHS has been on a journey aimed at reducing infant mortality in the city of Birmingham, and later to eliminate disparities in fourteen BHS designated communities.
