Every baby born healthy. Every mother supported. Every father involved.

November is both Native American Heritage Month and Prematurity Awareness Month, making it an important time to highlight gaps in maternal health.

Florida has a rich Indigenous history, including the Calusa, Timucua, Apalachee, and Tequesta peoples. Today, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida continue to preserve and celebrate their living cultures and traditions.

Did you know? In 2024, 12.6% of babies born to American Indian and Alaska Native mothers were born prematurely.

Barriers to healthcare, limited access to prenatal services, and maternity care deserts can contribute to these differences.

At Martin County Healthy Start, we believe every family deserves access to quality care, education, and support throughout pregnancy and beyond.

💜 Together, we can raise awareness, break down barriers, and work toward healthier beginnings for ALL families!

DID YOU KNOW...
Pregnant people who received prenatal education experience a reduced rate of C-sections, labor interventions, and pain medication use!
Please join us on November 20th for our Birth with Confidence Childbirth Education Class where you will learn about the signs and symptoms of labor, partner support techniques, and so much more!

November is Prematurity Awareness Month. We will be taking the month to recognize babies born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, their families, and the medical teams who care for them.

At Martin County Healthy Start, one of our main goals is to help ensure every baby is born healthy and full term! We work to connect families with education and community resources throughout pregnancy and early parenthood, helping reduce barriers to care and giving babies the healthiest start possible!

Let's help every family feel supported, no matter how their journey begins. 💜

Halloween 2026 🤩
🎃👻 A little Halloween fun with a whole lot of purpose.

Our team at Martin County Healthy Start gathered for some Halloween fun, team bonding, good food, and a little friendly costume creativity! From a wild witch 🧙‍♀️ and a nurse 🩺 to a bride 👰 and our very own Healthy Start ghost twins 👻, our team definitely brought the Halloween spirit!

But it wasn’t all tricks and treats. We also took time to focus on something close to our hearts: maternal mental health. 💜

We were grateful to have our very own Claudia Adrian, CNM, PMHNP-BC, share her knowledge on recognizing postpartum depression, having meaningful conversations with moms, and understanding how we, as public health professionals, social workers, and healthcare providers, can better support mothers during this important time. Because supporting moms means looking beyond pregnancy and birth. It means making sure they feel seen, heard, and supported throughout their motherhood journey. 💕

A little learning, a lot of laughter, and a team united by one purpose: supporting moms, dads, and families! 🧡

Mentally at brunch. Physically haunting the conference room. 💅

From all of us at Martin County Healthy Start, we wish you and your family a Happy Halloween! 🎃🕸️

Stay spooky, stay safe, and don't forget to treat yourself! 🍬💕

HOMETOWN HERO: SAMANTHA SUFFICH 🌟

We are bursting with pride💙
Our very own CEO, Samantha Suffich, has been named the Hometown Hero Award winner in Stuart Magazine’s inaugural Good Works Awards, and we could not think of anyone more deserving 🏆

When Martin County lost its only hospital labor and delivery unit in 2025, Sam refused to accept that families should have to leave their community to give birth. Instead, she got to work.

From leading the development of the Treasure Coast Maternity Center, a community-based home for prenatal care, low-risk deliveries, and family support, to bringing care directly into underserved neighborhoods through our MOM Mobile, a 38-foot prenatal care mobile unit serving families from East Stuart to Indiantown, Sam has turned every challenge into an opportunity.

Her vision, heart, and determination have made a real and lasting difference for mothers, fathers, babies, and families across Martin County. 💕

Sam would be the first to credit our amazing team and community partners, but today, we are celebrating her. 👏🎉
Please join the entire Healthy Start Dream Team in congratulating Sam on this incredible, well-deserved honor!

On Saturday, October 17, more than 370 of you walked, ran, and gathered at Stuart Memorial Park for our 10th Anniversary Remembrance Run & Walk. 💜🦋

Every folded envelope on our table held a butterfly, ready to be opened. After the walk, we gathered for our butterfly release, and families opened their envelopes and set their butterflies free in memory of their babies gone too soon. It was a quiet, beautiful moment we will never forget.

Thank you for walking with us, for writing names on our butterfly board, and for remembering babies together.

More photos are coming over on Madison's Miracles instagram, Facebook, and on RunSignup for families who are not on social media.

Save the date: Saturday, October 16, 2027 at 7:30 AM. Details coming in the new year.
