<\/span>: New Orleans is one of three cities selected nationally by the Kellogg Foundation to implement a Best Babies Zone (BBZ) and work in partnership with national leaders to change outcomes for families. BBZ is an innovative, multi-sector approach that mobilizes local partners in defined neighborhood zones to ensure that all babies have the best chance to thrive and reach their full potential. The New Orleans BBZ is focused on the Hollygrove neighborhood; in 2012, nearly 20% of babies born in a three-quarter mile section of Hollygrove were born with low birth weights.<\/p>\n\n
