Oct. 3 is the 83rd annual “Child Health Day,” established by the Health Resources and Services Administration. In celebration, we wanted to share with you the resources and services available to our community through Le Bonheur Children’s.

Through Le Bonheur Community Health and Well-Being, Le Bonheur is out in the communities of the region and is addressing the social, economic and environmental factors that threaten children’s health and well-being.

Here are some of our available services:

Center for Children and Parents
Our vision is for every child in West Tennessee to grow up in a loving, nurturing home that is able to meet his or her physical, developmental, emotional and educational needs.

Healthy Schools
The Le Bonheur Healthy Schools program partners with schools to teach good health habits to children and teens. The programs are based on the school-health model advocated by the Centers for Disease Control.  

Le Bonheur Early Intervention and Development (LEAD)
We work with children from birth to age 3 who are developmentally delayed or have a diagnosed condition that affects their health and development.

Mobile Health
Through our mobile units, Mission: Good Health and Le Bonheur on the Move, we take high-quality health care directly to children in the community.

Safe Kids Mid-South
We want to make the Mid-South a safe place for children to grow and play – “at home, at play and on the way” – free from accidental injuries.

Therapy Outreach
We offer comprehensive therapy services to our patients in West Tennessee through Therapy Outreach. Our staff includes physical, occupational and speech therapists who are specially trained to treat your child.
