Memphis Medical News Mentions The Urban Child Institute
Last month, our organization was mentioned twice by Memphis Medical News [1] in articles written by Bill Appling and Pamela Harris.
Bill Appling's article, All Children Can Learn [2], talks about our Baby Small campaign [3] and increased awareness of early childhood brain development in Memphis and Georgia.
Recently, the Commercial Appeal had an article about the Memphis-based Urban Child Institute’s trying something new: the Baby Small Campaign, featuring a three-minute video explaining the benefits of “touch, talk, read and play” in the early stages of childhood.

Pamela Harris's article, MEMPHIS ON THE MEND: Urban Child Institute: Changing Healthcare Outcomes at Conception [4], mentions the efforts of several organizations working to improve the health of children born in impoverished communities, including The Urban Child Institute.
Help is available to Memphis parents via a partnership between the UCI and the Neighborhood Christian Center. This team is teaching parents the simple things they can do at no cost to help their children develop in a program called "Touch . . . Talk . . . Read . . . Play [5]."
