Healthy futures are bright futures.

Children's Health Information for Parents and Caregivers

Healthy Futures is a web-based version of Bright Futures.

Bright Futures is the American Academy of Pediatrics’ standard reference book on children's health information for pediatricians.

Healthy Futures takes the children's health information in Bright Futures and puts it into the hands of parents through videos and text.

Healthy Futures increases family knowledge, skills, and participation in health promoting and prevention activities.

When parents and doctors share the same children’s health inforrmation, they are better prepared to work as partners.

The goal? Health outcomes for a healthy child, family, and community.
