Making each day healthier for all children.

Voices for Healthy Kids believes every child-no matter their background, family income or ZIP code- deserves access to what they need to thrive. Launched in 2013 by the American Heart Association, Voices for Healthy Kids is a driving force for health and opportunity for babies, toddlers and families nationwide. In partnership with community-based organizations, we advance policy solutions that strengthen family economic supports, improve maternal health, ensure nutrition security and protect local authority, starting where the needs are greatest.

By elevating lived experiences and equipping advocates with resources, technical assistance and campaign expertise at community, state, federal and tribal levels, we help accelerate change rooted in community priorities. Together, we’re transforming lives and building a future where every child and family can thrive.

“I always say we are a social movement, not a program or a project,” explained Paula Kreissler, who lives in Savannah. “To have a culture of health in our community, it must be easy for people to make healthy choices. Our mission is rooted in health equity – everyone, regardless of income, neighborhood, race, age or ability, should be able to live long, healthy, fulfilling lives.”
