First Steps program marks 10 years of services

The First Steps prenatal early intervention program has completed its 10th year of serving children and families in our region.

Led by a partnership between Blue Earth County, Greater Mankato Area United Way and Mankato Clinic Foundation, the program has impacted more than 5,000 people in the region since its inception in 2012. In that time, the program has made more than 1,600 referrals and partnered with 20 different counties and over 50 different community organizations.

First Steps is a community collaborative that connects new and expecting parents to free or low-cost services and resources.
