On March 18 Naomi turns two!
It's been beyond frustrating to see first-hand how this broken healthcare system and policies negatively affects families. In addition, the lack of investment and research in maternal/infant health has led to staggering statics such as: a woman today is twice as more likely to die in childbirth than her mother a generation ago. I am determined to change these stats and poor outcomes for Naomi and all other future moms and babies.
I am grateful to have your support which helps programs in Massachusetts like our NICU family support program at BMC, educating healthcare workers on implicit bias training, advocacy to for mothers to have better access to post partum mental health services. If you are wondering what amount to donate (any amount is apprecaited!) here are a few levels of inspiration:
With preterm birth rates continuing to rise, the U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color.
At March for Babies™ you're lifting up communities, creating connections and taking action to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.
Together, we’re marching to raise funds and awareness to transform the health of all families!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
