20 Years Providing
Healthy Beginnings
for Children
Healthy Beginnings is proud to announce that we are now
partnering with local preschools bringing them a custom health
and development team of experts to children under 5 years of
age. Focusing primarily on 4 essential areas; Vision, Hearing,
Behavior and Development, we are calling this 4 b4 5.
Preschools (and Daycares) can contact Healthy Beginnings to
schedule a screening for the children who attend their schools.
This is a real benefit to local preschools, the children who attend
as well as the families that may not have the time to get their
children screened due to busy schedules.

DID WE MISS YOU??
We are excited to announce the Healthy Beginnings is celebrating its 20th year of serving
Central Oregon’s children and families by offering FREE health screenings to children from
zero to 6 years of age. How do we plan on celebrating? First, by THANKING all our
supporters (those mentioned above...as well as many many more throughout the last 20
years!!) Secondly, we plan to continue offering the same quality health screenings
throughout this year to reach our goal of screening over 9000 children.
20 20 Years Providing Healthy Beginnings for Children
A Bear-Hug Testimonial
A concerned mom saw a 21 Cares for Kids ad on KTVZ (the local NBC affiliate) and knew she had to bring her
daughter to our screening. Mom had just rescued the small family from a domestic violence situation and was
concerned about how her daughter was doing. At the screening, the child was assessed with our 12-point kid
inspection and concerns were found in multiple health and developmental areas. Mom had an opportunity to chat
with specialists regarding the needs of her child and family, and at checkout mom left with referrals for vision,
dental, behavior, speech, motor skills, health and nutrition. Any mother, faced with this many referrals might be
challenged to connect with all services needed but this mother followed through on all referrals. This sweet little
girl now has services from Early Childhood Special Education, WIC, has received a vision
exam, and now has a primary medical home thanks to information and support from
Healthy Beginnings.
Healthy Beginnings’ 1st Annual Early Childhood Resource Fair
On April 19th, held at St. Charles Conference Center, over 35 preschools, vendors and non-profit
organizations came together for the benefit of the parent of the young child. Parents of
Bend came with their children to enjoy fun activities at each table and to discuss
important information to help them raise healthy happy families. This event also gave
Healthy Beginnings a wonderful opportunity to begin a partnership with local preschools by launching a new
4 b4 5 custom onsite health & development screening catered to preschools. At this event, Healthy
Beginnings’ experts were able to screen over 25 children in the areas of vision, hearing, developmental and
behavior. Over $4000 was raised to help Healthy Beginnings continue its mission of serving families and
children in our communities.
We LOVE our Volunteers! Healthy Beginnings celebrated our Volunteers
at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party on
April 10th. An excellent turnout of dedicated
volunteers came to enjoy a free lunch provided
by the staff at Healthy Beginnings.
Congratulations Kerry Zenich who was voted
Healthy Beginnings’ Volunteer of the Year.
Kerry was presented with beautiful flowers and
a gift certificate to a Hola.
Healthy Beginnings is always looking for more volunteers. Please contact our
office at 541-383-6357 if you’re interested in joining our team of volunteers.
Over $5000 donated
in sponsorships and
table registration fees.
All funds benefit

STAMPS of APPROVAL
A Great Success! On March 8th, Healthy Beginnings hosted
its 12th Annual Grin & Bear It Run and
Family Fun Run at the Les Schwab
Amphitheater. Over 300 runners showed up
for both a 5k & 10k run/walk. Families
enjoyed a ‘fun run’ as well. Individual
competitive runners came out in droves. We
also had corporate teams organized by
companies like Mosaic Medical and
Bluefish who got into a friendly competition
spirit. There were several community teams
that came together to share their enthusiasm
for healthy lifestyles. The weather seemed
to cooperate with a welcomed dry but cool
day, which the runners seemed to
appreciate. Thank you to our many
sponsors. Without them, this event would
not have been possible. Healthy Beginnings
raised over $21,000 to go directly towards
our mission of screening children
throughout Central Oregon.
A Free Scoop of Ice Cream =
$$ for Healthy Beginnings
A HUGE Thank you to Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream for hosting yet another
successful FREE CONE DAY to benefit Healthy Beginnings.
Of course, we must thank Mother Nature as well bringing us
70 degree weather on that same day. (she was a big help).
Over 4600 scoops of ice cream were served on April 8th to ice
cream lovers of all ages. With that, our generous community
donated nearly $1600 to Healthy Beginnings. THANK YOU to
Central Oregon families for your generous donations allowing
Healthy Beginnings to continue serving you and your families by
screening your young children.
