Proud to support growing families 💙

Jefferson Health Plans partnered with Jefferson’s Office of Community Health and Impact to collect over 750 essential baby items for our second annual Community Baby Shower during Black Maternal Health Week. Guests enjoyed a fun, welcoming day filled with free giveaways, face painting, a moonbounce, food and music from a live DJ.

Over 100 families received baby supplies like diapers, wipes, clothing, teething toys, and books, along with expert-led education and meaningful support. From packed info sessions to strong community partnerships, this event was all about showing up for parents and caregivers when it matters most.
