Diaper Connections

One out of every two families has difficulty affording a sufficient supply of diapers for their children.

Diaper need affects a family’s ability to go to work and school and threatens the health of a family by increasing the likelihood of maternal depression, parental stress, and diaper rash in infants and children.

In response to this need, the Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) partnered with the Diaper Bank of Connecticut (DBCT) to address diaper insecurity through a statewide program called Diaper Connections.

Screening for Diaper Need

Through the program, hospitals, healthcare providers, and community organizations have screened for diaper need and distributed millions of diapers to support thousands of children and their families.
