In 2017, The Annie E. Casey Foundation published the State Trends In Child Well-being. Arizona came in #46 out of 50 for a State to State comparison f overall child well-being (you can find the link here:http://www.aecf.org/m/resourcedoc/aecf-2017kidscountdatabook.pdf).

Nutrition and overall health of the child was measured. Our Dietetic Technician is well trained and knowledgeable of the current trends and needs of childhood nutrition.

Nutrition planning is also important in mental health and substance abuse.
