The Help Me Grow Inland Empire strategic plan laid the foundation for HMGIE’s development through its pilot phase, from 2019-2022. 

The strategic planning process was led by a Design Team that included First 5 Riverside, First 5 San Bernardino and Loma Linda University Children’s Health and was facilitated by VIVA Social Impact Partners.

The process gathered extensive community input into all aspects of the regional Help Me Grow model, and its vision, goals, and strategies. These insights were used to develop the Help Me Grow Inland Empire Strategic Plan.

National, state and county-level data, research, reports and key informant interviews were also used to inform the strategic plan and the development of the local Help Me Grow model.

Summit attendees were also invited to participate in three working committees, Community and Family Outreach, Health Provider Outreach, and Systems and Sustainability. These committees developed draft goals, objectives, and strategies for the plan. Click here to learn about the ongoing work of the committees.
