The Creighton Head Start Collaboration Program was created in March 2008 by medical student, Juliana Gazallo, to supplement the well being of children’s health. This program allows Creighton medical students to partner up with Head Start and aid in the medical screening of young children. The medical screening consists of determining the height and weight of the children as well as checking their vision and blood pressure.

In addition, medical students provide substantial information to parents about keeping their children nourished and healthy. Among the topics of discussion are nutrition and diet, hygiene, and exercise. The goal of this program is to promote healthy mental and physical well being, growth, and development of underprivileged children for years to come.
