MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Governor Tony Evers declared 2025 as the Year of the Kid, with the goal of doing what's best for the state's youth.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley is helping to realize that goal.
On Tuesday, he and the Department of Health and Human Services held a meeting to highlight the state's birth-to-three program designed to provide services for newborns with special needs.
"The care and the support that we provide our children, particularly in those early years of their lives, helps to lay the groundwork for their entire future," said Crowley. "And so we have to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to help them build a more healthy, more resilient lifestyle for the families, for the children, and making sure we do this in all of our neighborhoods around Milwaukee County."
The county says these federally mandated programs serve over 13,000 children across the state.
