Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States, or about 1 in every 10 infants born. Many of you know my own baby was preterm (thankfully late-preterm!), and I am a NICU nurse who has devoted her work to improving outcomes in this population. Maternal mortality rates in the United States are some of the worst amongst developed nations, and MOD helps ensure that ALL mothers have fair and equitable access to care.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
