Baldwin Park Unified School District Early Education Program

Grantee: Baldwin Park Unified School District Early Education Program (BPUSD ECE)

Investment: $1,264,701

Success: The funding helped the Baldwin Park program add additional medical health professional consultants, such as registered nurses, registered dietitians, and a nurse practitioner consultant, to provide telehealth well-child exams, nutritional screenings and consultations, growth assessments, and more.

A total of 216 students received telehealth well-child exams. Providing this service ensured that children received continued routine health check-ups and increased the program's PIR for physical exams by 24% for Head Start and 23% for Early Head Start programs.

The Baldwin Park program also organized a health fair with registered nurse consultants, licensed vocational nurses, registered dietitian consultants, and nurse practitioner consultants. This health fair was also organized as a response to the anticipated increases in referrals for vision problems and dietary concerns. Hearing, vision screenings, growth, and risk assessments were completed for all participants during the event.
