Me Grow Alabama. Reach Out and
Read-Alabama, a program of the Alabama Chapter AAP is a key partner in our
success in Central Alabama.
Reach Out and Read (ROR) is a national nonprofit organization that works with pediatricians and, like HMG, is expanding in pediatric practices and clinics.
“Reach Out and Read started as a simple solution to an obvious problem: waiting rooms without books. Reading aloud was important for young children, and pediatricians had a special opportunity to reach their parents. It was a patently good idea. But if it had been nothing more than that, it would have withered away. Instead, ROR has grown, nurtured by the passionate and inspired efforts of many-educators, doctors, volunteers, parents, corporations, foundations and politicians.” -Robert Needlman, MD, ROR Co-founder
HMG-Central Alabama has connected with Reach Out and Read-Alabama to access pediatricians with a united message about early childhood development. Our streamlined partnership simplifies what we're both asking of health care providers- to prepare America’s youngest children to succeed in school; prescribing books and encouraging families to read together AND referring those families with children in need of developmental services to HMG.
Have you ever noticed Reach Out and Read materials in your waiting room?
