A New Year

2010 brings me hope. For the first time, Action Greensboro and the business community are talking about teenage pregnancy rates. Dr. Keith Debbage, UNCG professor of urban development, indicated in the 2009 State of the City report, that adolescent pregnancy rates impact the decision of new businesses to relocate to a community. Finally, the business community acknowledges that adolescent pregnancy is a societal issue that must be addressed so that the quality of life will improve for the entire community. Let us all join together and show strength regarding this life altering yet preventable concern in our community.

Talk with the politicians from your district or region. Let's get everyone on board in addressing adolescent pregnancy rates in Guilford County.
