Statistics show that getting books into the hands of a child offers:
• Better recognition of sounds and letters
• Increased listening skills
• Knowledge of a wider range of vocabulary

Every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading.

At Meridian Health Services, children ages 0–12 receive a FREE, age-appropriate book during their well-baby and well-child visits in our Primary Care and Pediatrics Clinics. Through our Reach Out & Read program, these books help spark early literacy, strengthen family bonding, and support healthy child development.

With community support, we aim to purchase over 7,000 books for our young patients.

Your gift will place a book in a child’s hands and help build the foundation for a lifetime of learning.
