Magnolia Project
Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of women during their childbearing years by empowering communities to address medical, behavioral, cultural and social service needs.
About
The Magnolia Project is a special federally-funded Healthy Start initiative to improve the health and well-being of women during their childbearing years (15–44 years old) in zip codes 32202, 32204, 32206, 32208 and 32209. Our goal is to work with women to address risk factors (pregnancy intervals, nutrition issues, substance/alcohol abuse, psychosocial problems, family planning and other issues) that impact their health and may affect a future pregnancy. We are working to make women well and to reduce infant mortality. The Magnolia Project is implemented in the heart of the target community in Pearl Plaza, 5300 N. Pearl St., Jacksonville. It has been funded since 1999 by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health Resources & Services Administration.
