Children’s Institute unveils GROW Bus for community screenings

Children’s Institute recently designed and equipped a bus for our “Get Ready to GROW’ program and will soon be providing developmental screening for young children throughout the Finger Lakes region, once it is deemed safe to return to in-person services. Thanks to funding from FLPPS (Finger Lakes Performing Provider System) and partnerships with many community organizations, the GROW bus will allow us to reach families in a variety of settings to support young children’s healthy development. www.GetReadyToGROW.org

We stand and speak for racial justice and public health equity - together

Children’s Institute is committed to work towards the elimination of systemic and institutional racism, individual racism, and implicit bias. We don't stand silent. Silent isn't neutral. We stand and speak for racial justice and public health equity – together. Families with children in communities of color demand allies who support, understand, recognize, and transform personal discomfort into decisive action that promotes lasting change around these inequities.
