BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Finding resources for families and pregnant mothers-to-be in one location.
I’m Terry Gilliam, in the Northwest Tallahassee neighborhood.
I look at how a baby and family fair helps with some challenges during pregnancy and raising a child in its early development.
“As a Provider, it’s really challenging to figure out how we can help everybody and theme ways that we can help each other,” Dr. Astrid Gonzalez said.
Those challenges that Dr. Gonzalez is discussing have to do with women going through their pregnancy. Families have the resources for early child development in our neighborhoods.
Saturday, those resources were in one spot on the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital Baby and Family Fair. Families all over Leon County and over 40 vendors were in attendance.
