Within Fayette County, transportation is a significant barrier that keeps children from being seen by doctors and dentists. In addition to providing bus transportation for the children enrolled at Head Start, the program also allows staff to request company vehicles that can be used to transport families to appointments with physicians, food banks, grocery stores, and WIC. Head Start of Fayette County has also recently partnered with WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital for the Infant and Child Safety Program.
WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital recently received the Community Foundation of Fayette County’s Catalyst for Change Grant to support the Program. The grant will be used to purchase 358 convertible car seats that can be used for children from birth to 100 pounds, as well as car seat training for new parents and staff so that families are aware of how to use the car seats properly. We are so excited to be able to work with WVU Medicine to assist with providing such an essential item to the families in our area.
