Expecting Health

Expecting Health At Expecting Health, we believe that new and expecting families, regardless of makeup, income, or background, should and deserve to expect health.

We simply don’t think it needs to be this hard. Grounded in real science and continuous community input, Expecting Health works collectively with organizations, healthcare professionals, people, and communities to provide the right information at the right time - from planning a pregnancy to early infant care. We know that even with so much information available, it can be hard to find the right answers for you and your family. Expecting Health was founded by a group of women with a simple idea: families deserve and should expect more – more support, more guidance, better health. Born from Genetic Alliance, a non-profit organization rooted in 30 years of community programs and representing national voices and family-centered experiences, Expecting Health shares science-based and policy-informed information that reflects the lived experiences of women, men, and their families. We do this through the power of relationships; convening the top experts; working with key leaders in health; and engaging with families and communities at the center of the conversation.
