HealthStart Welcomes New Board Members

HealthStart is thrilled to welcome two new board members to the HealthStart family, Marissa Marquez and Dr. Lucio Calzada. Marissa and Lucio join the Board of Directors at a crucial time for HealthStart as we prepare for the next year ahead. They bring unique skills and talents to the board to help HealthStart fulfill our mission of building healthier communities through children's health and science education. We are looking forward to working with them. 

Read a little about why Marissa and Lucio chose to join HealthStart's Board of Directors.

Marissa has always had a passion for serving her community. She understands what a nonprofit needs to succeed and brings her vast nonprofit and legal experience to HealthStart's Board of Directors.

"Being healthy promotes good mental, physical, and social health. Therefore, providing a child with information about health at an early age will create the foundation they need to be an overall healthy individual and member of society."

"I chose to join the HealthStart BOD because the mission of HealthStart falls in line with my interest in service to my country and community by serving our most precious and priceless resource, our children. I truly believe we cannot invest enough resources and time to raising healthy, thoughtful, and intelligent children who will become citizens. "
