The Healthy Start Coaltion

What The Healthy Start Coaltion does

The Healthy Start Coalition of Flagler & Volusia Counties (HSCFV) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established in 1991 under Florida Legislature mandate as one of 32 designated statewide Healthy Start Coalitions. It operates from its headquarters at 109 Executive Circle, Daytona Beach, FL, with a team of approximately 15 staff and board members. The organization serves pregnant women and families with children under age 3 in Flagler and Volusia Counties, covering a service area that experiences roughly 6,000 births annually, a 10.3% preterm birth rate, and a 9.1% low birthweight rate, alongside an estimated 50% Medicaid coverage of births indicating significant economic vulnerability.

HSCFV's service portfolio centers on Connect, a referral gateway that routes families into specialized programs; three home visiting tracks (Healthy Start, Healthy Families, and Nurse Home Visiting for high-risk families); the G.R.O.W. Doula Program; TEAM Dad fatherhood services; and Bereavement/Grief Support. Community-level initiatives include the Fetal and Infant Mortality Review (FIMR) administered for Region 6 (Flagler, Volusia, and Seminole Counties) and recurring community events such as the Annual Awards Celebration and Community Baby Shower. All services are provided at no cost to participants.

The revenue model is grant-dependent: primary funding flows from the Florida Department of Health, Florida Department of Children and Families, and the Healthy Start MomCare Network (Medicaid care coordination), with supplemental support from The Ounce of Prevention Fund of Florida, United Way Volusia-Flagler Counties, the Volusia County Opioid Abatement Program, and individual/corporate donations processed via Givebutter. Technology infrastructure is intentionally minimal — a SiteGround-hosted website, Zoho email, Google Analytics, FormStack intake forms, and Givebutter donation processing — consistent with a service-delivery nonprofit rather than a technology platform. Go-to-market is referral-driven through healthcare providers, WIC offices, hospital systems (AdventHealth, Halifax Health), and 27+ community partners rather than direct-to-consumer marketing.

Direct peers

• Healthy Start Coalition of Hillsborough County: One of Florida's 32 state-designated Healthy Start Coalitions serving Hillsborough County. Operates the same Florida-legislative model of home visiting, doula support, and community referral services — directly comparable operating model, funder mix, and statutory positioning.
• Healthy Start Coalition of Orange County (Florida): Another Florida Healthy Start Coalition operating under the same 1991 legislative framework in Orange County. Delivers nearly identical programmatic mix (home visiting, doula, fatherhood) and competes for the same statewide funding pool — the closest direct comparability to HSCFV.
• Healthy Start Coalition of Miami-Dade: Florida's largest Healthy Start Coalition by service area population, providing the same statutory services in Miami-Dade. Same funder ecosystem (Florida DOH, MomCare Network, county government), same programmatic structure — useful scale benchmark.
• Nurse-Family Partnership: National evidence-based nurse home visiting model for first-time mothers. HSCFV's Nurse Home Visiting program operates alongside NFP-affiliated sites in many Florida regions; both serve Medicaid-eligible, high-risk pregnant women with comparable curricula and outcomes measurement.
• Parents as Teachers: National evidence-based home visiting model serving families from pregnancy through kindergarten. Operates in many of the same Florida communities as Healthy Start Coalitions and competes for similar federal MIECHV and state home visiting funding.

Broad incumbents

• Healthy Families America: National umbrella organization for the Healthy Families home visiting model — HSCFV's Healthy Families program is an HFA affiliate. HFA sets training, accreditation, and quality standards for 600+ affiliates nationwide, making it the broad incumbent defining HSCFV's evidence-based service line.
• March of Dimes: National nonprofit focused on maternal and infant health, including prematurity prevention and postpartum support — overlapping mission with HSCFV. Operates broader advocacy and research functions while also funding local community programs.
• AdventHealth Community Health: Major Florida hospital system's community health arm. HSCFV partners with AdventHealth Daytona Beach for referrals and board representation; AdventHealth operates overlapping maternal-child health initiatives as part of broader community benefit programming.
• WIC Program (Florida Department of Health): Federal nutrition program for Women, Infants, and Children administered in Florida through county health departments. WIC offices host HSCFV Connect Zones and serve overlapping low-income pregnant/postpartum populations — a complementary rather than competing program.

Regional players

• Children's Home Society of Florida: Large Florida-based nonprofit providing child welfare, family preservation, and adoption services. Operates adjacent family-support programs in the same Florida geography and overlaps with HSCFV on child welfare prevention and family strengthening work.
