Kim Waggoner<\/span> has been selected as the <\/span>201<\/span>9<\/span> <\/span>First Things First <\/span>East Maricopa Region <\/span><\/a>Champion for Young Children. <\/span><\/p>\n

The award is given to local champions who actively volunteer their time to raise public awareness of the importance of early childhood development and health. Champions spend a significant amount of time volunteering with FTF and building public awareness about the importance of early childhood issues. <\/span><\/p>\n

Waggoner <\/span>presented<\/span> new parents <\/span>with early childhood information <\/span>to reinforce the message that learning begins at birth and good health is the foundation for child development<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>Waggoner <\/span>regularly provides FTF articles, podca<\/span>sts and blogs for sharing on social media<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span>Waggoner also<\/span> <\/span>c<\/span>reated resource area<\/span>s in the hospital<\/span> for the public to have ready access to FTF family resource guides, educational tools and parenting tips.<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We recently caught up <\/span>with <\/span>Waggoner, <\/span>who is<\/span> a <\/span>registered nurse and prenatal educator at <\/span>HonorHealth-Shea<\/span> c<\/span>ampus in Scottsdale.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Question: Why do you feel <\/span>e<\/span>arly <\/span>c<\/span>hildho<\/span>od development and health is <\/span>important?
\n<\/span><\/strong>Answer<\/span>: <\/span><\/strong>Children are our future! Optimal health and early childhood development, alo<\/span>ng with a loving family, create<\/span> a strong foundation for the love of learning and a joyful, meaningful life. The community programs funded by First Things First available to expecting parents and parents of children birth to<\/span> age5<\/span>, empower families by providing the tools and skills necessary to best support healthy childhood development.<\/span><\/p>\n

Q<\/span>uestion<\/span>: How do you suggest other people in your community get involved?
\n<\/span><\/strong>A<\/span>nswer<\/span>:<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>As a nurse, I would suggest other people in our community consider reading scientific, evidence-based information from reliable sources about vaccinations. Herd immunity protects our youngest and most fragile community members, paving the way for the beginnings of a healthy childhood. Healthy babies and families make stronger, happier communities.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
