why march for babies

Each year, premature babies cost American businesses $26 billion. The March of Dimes can help educate your employees on how to have healthy babies, which in turn can help reduce costs for American businesses. You can see how helping moms have healthy babies makes good business sense. Sign up for March of Dimes Healthy Babies Healthy Business, a no-cost, educational worksite wellness program that promotes healthy pregnancies and a family-friendly work environment.
