Email from Rep. Malliotakis Here's a quick update on what I've been working on during a busy few weeks across Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn   My friend, Here's a quick update on what I've been working on during a busy few weeks across Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn... HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE DISTRICT BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO EXTEND HEALTHY START PROGRAM Over the past two years, this program has delivered more than $2 million to the Community Health Center of Richmond in our district to support women, infants, and families in low-income communities. Our bipartisan legislation will continue the authorization of the Healthy Start program, which has successfully improved health outcomes for new mothers and reduced infant mortality rates and other adverse perinatal outcomes nationwide. I look forward to continuing working to get this legislation across the finish line.
